Perspective

Flying through the clouds, choosing not to land,
Are we truly all just pawns at the mercy of gods hands?
I wonder in silence in fear of whats to come,
because the people of the world seem to march to just one drum
 
I float through the world like a ghost on a leash slowly led,
following the pull blindly, as the surroundings turn to red,
When I lose who I am, undiscovered, undercover,
Around the outskirts of time and space my mind hums and hovers
 
When I come back down I get to be myself,
I feel everything to feel, peace of mind, my greatest wealth,
And when I'm feeling good I like to frame it in my mind,
So when the red again returns, this peace will not be hard to find
 
I hope to end my search for the things i do not need,
I'd like to rid my mind and soul of unnecessary greed,
unsuccessful I've been throughout my trials though i fear,
I intend to keep persistence, I'm at the wheel maybe I'll steer,
 
Forming my mind everyday with a brand new perspective,
I find that the ways we see the world seem to be very collective,
I try to hear your opinions but I always end up objective,
When we're being rated at the end, ya know he'll be very selective.

Greed is an easy thing to get rid of..A simple life is where it is at Eric...Slow down smell the roses. Time will feel like it is standing still..Don't get caught up in the rat race...Great words as ever my friend...Tim
