Just In Time
I bury my thoughts in my head
because someone wish that
I would drop down and dead
I keep moving in the line
to conceal my identity from the divine
A strange figure keeps creeping up behind me
just to keep my company, it had no physical body
but always appears in the shape of a human
Its presence is strong, and it can penetrate you from a distance
It is something that no one can understand
But it set me in motion for the next destination
I bury my thoughts in my head for the people
Believe every word that I have said
The people standing in line behind me
have surrendered to my philosophy
I held the jigsaw puzzle upside down and
exchange a diamond for a crown
The crowd around me began to swell
And all of a sudden, the thoughts start
popping out of my head, everything began
to flow and my spirit began to grow
and the crowd went wild, the bodyless
presence was still standing behind me
Telling me to enjoy their company
I could not quiet the storm, but a gentle
wind blow and at last I could begin the show
What have I to do with the ship at sea
and what have I to do with the Villigers in the valley
A thousand years have passed
since the treasure was found
But that village is no longer around
But its myth lives on
and the deep blue sea keeps rolling on
I stood at the front of the line
To anchor the ship and take what is rightfully mine
I bury my thoughts in my head
For I was standing close to the edge
Everyone was calling out to me
And in the middle of the excitement
I regain my energy and the space around me enlarge
And courage elevates me to the top just in time.
