even though we think we can defy gravity we know we cannot
set aside function and the shapes all around you take on new meanings
if you can find it buried deep within the rain there is a silence
we search for stillness but very little is learned sailing a calm sea
how we see the world is restricted by choices we made in the past
washed up on the shore we see one life being passed onto another
every day breaks in its own unique way, yet we start them the same
give in to the urge tuck your nose under your paw and drift off to sleep
with a closer look we see that the most simple is anything but
just like the flower in order to receive light one must be open
