Progressive Nature



There’s an open ridge in time
Where the plane is nonexistent
Where we can be together
And talks of your wrongs are dismissive
By virtue of the laws of this moment
Maybe we can be cohesive
And seen as secretive
Whatever you desire
In the one place I can speak to you
In conscious mind with spirit

They say the universe was made for me
That’s the rumors floating around
But between you and I
From me to you
So there is absolutely no confusion
I offer you mine if you will have it
Please excuse my youthful exterior
And dazed sense of adolescence
But in light of your presence
There are truths you made me confront
Truths about myself
Facts of existence
And what death really means
At least what it means for everyone else 

We’re at the point where the dead meet the departed
And we’re at an equinox I feel
Hopefully you feel it too
And as long as the sky is blue
And at times purple with streaks of grey
My hope that you will choose me
Will never fade away

So here we are in the plane of nonexistence
Where sense of man is in parlay
And everyone in my life is part of a plan
Pawn, soldier and pauper
So whether you exist to contradict just that
And going through these feelings
Is crucial to my design
I just know in the term of my reality
I don’t feel I need you,
I have an over encompassing drive to have you
While the conscious being gives me life
I give the same to you in mine
