Upon a foundation
Build them up
Until they are taller
Than I
Until they are taller
Than trees
Until they are taller
Than mountains
Not to prove
That I am bigger
But in homage
To what is bigger
Than I
Until they are taller
Than I
Until they are taller
Than trees
Until they are taller
Than mountains
Not to prove
That I am bigger
But in homage
To what is bigger
Than I
We’ve gone as fast
As sound and cheetahs
Slowed down time
To see a bullet
Sped it up
To watch grass grow
Some see superstition
And irrationality
I see a deeper wisdom:
A belief that the world
Should be made beautiful
To honour the spirit
Of existence
But the wisest insights always come
When I turn away from all of these
And simply listen to the voice within
Which resonates best with my body
In that way
Love is as pure as light
As powerful as gravity
As infinite as time and space
With the day near done
Laying back, warm sun
Close my weary eyes
Breathe a heavy sigh
So I begin
The time of
Renewal
How can I ask you
To understand me
But the light which guides me
Burns from within
And from there illuminates
My true path in the world
Will it be a photograph
In your mind, an epitaph
Or the sound of my lost laugh
