Analysis of Learning
Once in a while I've noticed how bluish skies turn dreary.
And the bluish of blue, turns the dreary skies to a blushing dawn.
I've noticed how the nights of stars burning to earth with fury.
And the fury of the rush leaves a trail of light to pure lust.
Once in a while I've noticed the heavens peeking open.
And the one brilliant light is without words, but its intense.
I've noticed how the radiant beams leaves me energy and hoping .
And the burning inside, I wish I could see how it all makes sense.
Once in a while I've noticed how I think, and it's all I need to know.
And the thoughts I have, are the thoughts I wish I knew.
I've noticed how my mind wonders about the questions to, and fro.
And I want to put it all together, and bring all my wishes true.
Once in a while I've noticed things can't always go my way.
And no matter what color the world is, I have a choice to follow along.
I've noticed my own little spot on this earth is okay, and that's where I'll stay. And I don't know what is to come my way, but I'll sing my own song.
Once in a while I capture a glimpse of who I really could be.
I'm delighted and at peace in my own self, so far at least.
I've noticed I have my own part of heaven at my feet.
And I'm happy my life takes me to explore the depths of me.
