stealing serenity

send your dreams where nobody hides

give your tears 

to tide

it's nothing really - just another sound bite 
but on a different channel in analog - yet another proprietary file conversion 
that you'll need to decode
manually

 
with the right downloaded software 
you can access it, with a plug-in 
on the internet


no time

and so
some of us arrive in our moment of clarity, sensing the approach

sometimes after a long wait - the visitation

all too often when we're least

expecting it

here it comes again



s t e a l i n g   s e r e n i t y 
 

there's no end
there's no goodbye
disappear
with the night

i'm optimistic

for the first time in my life in a long long while

it's because i waited patiently

and life is going my way

again 

kids these daze

in all those circles - square boxes and triangles

the mathematical shapes - that define us

there are variations on a common theme  
ok - there's one really simple basic

we're alive for a short time

conscious for a moment
in the blink of an 
eye 


open wide then shut tight 


like OMG, what-IF?   like ... whatever duh


we are watched though - i don't like that part
by those with an agenda
hungry for meat and 
potential

a carcass to chew on 
in a memorex memory to caress


"mommy, there's a scary monster in my closet"
protect me - nose bleed mommy
falling ... WTF

 we become distracted then afraid - detached

from all this imperfect information

on how to proceed - the steps
until we stagnate in a life
we learn to hate 
all too short 
empty

no time
persisting in our quest

still trying to jam that square peg into a round hole

over and over again, because

it's what we're taught to do
in our rigorous training

only it never works


that familiar voice returns
and awakens us
again 


but staying clear and focused
requires too much
effort


and hurts too much 

misinformation 


and so ... we keep jamming/hammering away

knowing full well that it's futile

that it will never fit right 

administrating adversity
and finding it


finally


the dust settles
and we find
ourselves 

peeling away the layers of dead skin
the protection mechanisms
that failed us
  

the gratuitous gradients, the billions of new colours

that we tried to access, but couldn't until now

because we wouldn't

allow them 

 IN


how long will this one last? 

regardless

the transition from black and white into color
is something i'd recommend for anyone

who wants to really live



s t e a l i n g   s e r e n i t y 

 

send your dreams where nobody hides

give your tears 

to tide

there's no end
there's no goodbye
disappear
with the night

counting the casualties
krazy karma
kills 

it's like saying something to someone 
you hold dearly and regretting it after 
been there done that!


no time
