What Remains

What remains

after today?
What's left when you've gone insane?
All I've got left

are my remains
Left to the best of civilization
Let's get away from this place & time
Start a new religion

A self fulfilling prophecy
Rocked & held below
Renew me w/ self esteem

love of self.
Believe me when I say

I only hold what remains.
Cool & loving, I believe what I say

I'm kind of funny that way

I believe too damn much.

You drone on forever
Talking of such & such
Always forgone

Past away

from hand to hand

from day to day
Gone & forgone w/ yesterday & tomorrow

Living inside myself,

Oh, my God! my days are blowing together,
So indistinct & so useless.

Everything is always the same!
& I'm take for granted

Wincing at slaps&

accusations &
Love lost &

false approbation
Archived & sold

next to the poor boy's birth.
Damn sad

& damn bloody.
The power of humanity, it's beauty

is so immeasurable

Immutable

& possibly impossible.
A world of beauty & bounty, for those who care to look,

opens up before us in a moment of silence

w/ the power & rage of wind & forest

a moment of true beauty tells me,
"Don't be afraid. everything's going to be fine."

What remains

after you've seen heaven & we're already there?
What remains

after you clear your soul of worry?
What remains after you conquer your fears??
What remains when you find life's real beauty?

WHAT REMAINS?

NEXT?
Why don't you look at May God Forgive
