Shuffling around the keep.

(T)


The right answers so it seems
Appear to be locked away in my dreams
It’s a question lost, stuck somewhere in time
I, the poet seeking the best rhyme
Allusions of grandeur
Must all meet the sander
Where they can be smoothed and refined
Able to find solace in the sublimated mind

The truth in disguise
Should be handled by the wise
For an ignorant man surely will learn
The order in which he should turn
Each rock found on his path
Similar yes, but not quite the same math
Not rocket science or even precal
Guaranteed to be easier with your eyes off that gal
Focusing well, patiently finding the way
Achieving full potential the right one will surely stay
Find the right order and all will be yours
Your ripe with the victory of all your wars

Echoing from deep within
A sound hunting for its origin
Bellowed from my blackened lungs
Tracking the harmony that has not yet begun
Along its way next to me and the stones
Refusing to become a lost a quiet tome

How soon I wonder until I find the key
Underneath the rock that’s so easy to see.
This key to life it makes me wonder
What if its hunting the wrong plunder
What happens then in front of the door
Will you find the right one is what I implore
What would you do if the key didn’t fit
I’ll doubt you’ll be crouching with a lock picking kit
I won’t call it luck but some saw from the start
The need to be wise and to fill the lone cart
With the tales from the sages and those who philosophize
The stories of those who took the time to analyze

All the wonders they were able to behold
Became the realities that were yet to unfold
No single thought could they ever say
About how things were made and became this way

Like I said the right questions are key
Then everything is much easier to see
The right order, I believe, is what comes next
Allowing things to fall into proper context

How easy it seems when your awake in your dreams
Especially when you’re the one controlling the scene
Shuffling around directing the motions
Perspective becomes a warm tasty potion
Before I lay and fall asleep
I’ll sample a bit from in the keep
I take a sip long and full
The dreams beginning so wonderful
Makes me wonder if I was asleep
Even before I went to the keep
