Capture of the Light

Waking up in a new element Started my day with nudity met with my window breezes Called that jerk of a boss and gave him back his position Cooked a breakfast I've never done before... Burnt scrumptious bacon and scorched scrambled eggs Finally dressed in bell-bottoms and print tops so 60's of me Emptied my bank account to see others share my wealth The Gods are kind to me, but I don't question their ends I know my place, it's at the sun where I'll be soon Walked the streets preaching in silence with a smile Met a new lover and decided its never too soon to first make love Gave up my American life for a chance to become a foreign tourista I seized my fate and grasp hold tight my fortune Forgetting that yesterday I said I hated you Remembering today that it could be both our last Visited my family who never loved me Showered them with mine Laid down to die with contemptness as my burial Living my life with no restrictions Loving a new me In love with a NEW DAY
