As It Was

Your toes are cold, your bag is stuffed Those damn columnated gums got the spinach stuck You still flash a smile at the break of dawn Isolated, teasing ancient whims and rambling on A trusted nose tends to wander off Dumb luck comes as the unharvest of a crop Ten thousand miles saw no muck for months Now carbon-dated dialects hit your tongue Mmm This rain is acidic, my pH simply won't agree My thoughts are idyllic when I wash them down with a cup of tea Warm liquid fuzz of potential dominos Left as it was, suspended embryo I saw my mossy spirit cultivating their poetry Tales of a child to the eldest islands of me Poor softened buzz, you're on your own Nothing is left undone How is that so? I would fossilize every moment if I could Rise and fall with each to pacify my dreams Where the sands of time become a labored soot Born at the highest of heats, life is the lightest sleep I saw white within and without me A soundless chime but beaming through every end Open my eyes to the wild and quiet beginning Slivers of sight where I watch myself living in an idea (Living in an idea)
