The Flight OF Life


Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
I’ve been there, I’m there, I will be there
Past, Present, Future
Saw her then, see her now, will see her soon
Some things never seem to end
Sometimes we argue and love to pretend
Some days its feels like you fly
In her eyes you don’t feel life flash by
The element, the substance, the growth
What is simple is made complicated
When complicated is really just chaotic simplicity
We do, we say, we think
Maybe we should think, do and then say
From day to day all we say is maybe
All we say are words
We speak these words
But they are nothing more
Than just empty compromises
Bottled up promises
And pistons churning combustible engines
In which we drive straight into the ground
And then question our entire existence
When we have the look of an upside-down smile
How long do we fake this?
How much is too much?
How little is too little?
We want things to be luke-warm
But maybe we need to feel a little fire
Is it fire that we truly desire?
What is driving our hearts to feel a need?
Fleeing to the sky like fleets on warfare
Training to live a life that is doomed to die
Withering like a flower before the maturity of its life
Is this what we perceive on what we are to write in our hearts?
Is this a disease? This lack of hope
This lack of patience, This lack of faithfulness.
We don’t trust one another, but what is trust?
You say you’re not loved, but how are you to be loved?
A bundle of joy is the heart of life
There is no need to question when everything is right
But until we stop living each others lives
We will never know what it means to treat everyone right
We must cherish the past, present and future times
We have to make amends with our own lives.
