I've found theres more to introspection
On the flying wings of life
As I try to plumb deeper depths with my
Halo-genic light
Yet I never see the shadows, though I suppose
They must be there?
Yet as long as they don't reflect on me
I really couldn't care!
Ancient modern (original poem)
I've found there's more to introspection
On the flying wings of like
As I tried to plumb its recesses
With my halo-genic light
I've never seen the shadows though I suppose they
Must be there,
Yet as long as don't reflect on me I don't
See I should really care
i've found
There is more to introspection,
On the flying wings of life.
as I try to plumb
its recesses with my halo-genic light.
I never see the shadows, although I suppose
They must be there, yet if they don’t project on me
I don’t see that I should care.
