The tranquil beating of your heart belies a storm within
\nI sense unease of countless fees owed to fated whim
\nMy presence here may prove too near when studied from afar
\nBut foolish thoughts are much too fraught with motives too bizarre<\/p>\n
Abandoned hope suggests a scope of motivations true
\nWhen filled with these hilarities and mocking senses too
\nWe bow before the shambled door to beg for mercy please
\nRelent our souls of unclear goals and rise us from our knees<\/p>\n
With untold needs your body pleads to lose its unknown strife
\nToo many times your spirit mines the vagaries of life
\nA story fraught with should and ought and dreams of other days
\nIt tells us how you think right now and how your past replays<\/p>\n
We sing a song that’s often long until the end of time
\nWith words of whim designed to skim our lives with novel rhyme
\nBut in the end we always spend too much on things gone by
\nOf which I find I do not mind as much as why we try<\/p>\n
Your battered hope begins to cope and find a way to thrive
\nWhat’s in the past is gone at last, your heart begins a dive
\nYou sanctify without a why those things that might not come
\nWe learn our fuss is bound to us in ways that make us numb<\/p>\n
So stand up tall in hallowed hall of future disbelief
\nIt may be dark with no clear mark but find some calm relief
\nFor when you pass through this morass you’ll come upon a day
\nFuture’s past will pass at last without much more to say<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
