~ The All-Illusive Message ~

~~~

I just came in to play with words
made of letters carved on blocks
I’ll treat them like symbolic herds
and be the shepherd of their flocks

It doesn’t matter what they say
as thoughts are quite illusive
the sands of time will wash away
for no message is conclusive

I’ll spell a word like ‘love’
and smile at what it means
I’ll spell a word like ‘hate’
with all the agony it screams

I’ll scrabble with the letters
tossing them like dice
and peer with some amazement
when they spell a word like ‘nice’

Is it a miracle or accident
that ‘nice’ is on the dice?
Don’t ponder this too deeply
for I had to throw them thrice

As sunlight dances on my back
I think about the rain
it's funny how experience
can be imagined in a brain

Touch the sand and feel it
the sensation is surreal
there’s something in the ‘here and now’
that has a beckoning appeal

Listen to the songs of birds
as they go about their lives
and the busy little workers
who make honey in their hives

They’re not concerned with any words
or with the ponderings of ‘Why?’
they simply do what they must do
to enjoy their lives beneath the sky

Oh dear god please help us
to know that truth is not in words
lest we lose ourselves in ponderings
and become a bunch of empty nerds

Lets us know that love is love
and not a string of letters
Lets us be like birds and bees
and not immoral debtors

We love the words we play with
we love the thoughts they bring
and no matter how we spell it
we love the birth of spring

Disorganized philosophies
are honest to a fault
whilst preordaining providence
will lock your spirit in a vault

The will you have is free
to do with as you like
once you’ve past the training wheels
you can ride it like a bike

If you constrain yourself to dogma
you’re bound to skin your knee
for idol worship’s blasphemy
even profits will decree!

Look upon creation
for this is where it’s at
everything you witness
is magic from a hat

Why focus on the source,
when the magic’s where it’s at?
To wish for something greater
is to be a spoiled brat!

Enjoy the life that you’ve been given
view the world as god
To worship idol dogmas
is the epitome of odd

Your own a roll, James. They are lovely.

AWESOME

Please keep disorganising your philosophies James... I can almost wobble
without training wheels now...

Thankyou.
