As It Is

AS IT IS I am going up the ladder of life. Killing all the blow flies in sight. Knocking down the spider webs as I sing to myself. I am feeling so alive. I am going to put up new shelves. I am thinking about doing something real. Like getting high and liking the environment I am in while I drink me a Budweiser. I just want me a quite place to relax in outer space. This may just be a mood swing. A thing and a physicality all as one and the sun is shining. Life is the brightest gleam. Will it last is overpowering and is questioning me. What a metaphor. I am singing like a songbird. All made from how I feel. I am on top of the world as it is. With my dust mop I clean. Dwelling and thriving within, its affinity and more than a ascertain well-being. I am strutted to achieve, to be visionary, and to dream. It is as a universal scheme. Sashaying and I am almost done. Opening the curtains... embracing the sun. The joy stratagems silently. I am that personification embodied. As it is, the world is a wonderful place to be within. As it is, I sing for the joy it gives. As it is, As it is, As it is... |Written October 19, 2015!|
