Balloons

Some days are so grey
Like all the colour has been drained
And replaced with the colour of non-colour
It brings an emptiness to my soul
Makes me feel far from whole
Today I feel shocked
By people who sing & talk
Of love for their fellow man
Yet that is all they do
They blow hot air
Somehow they fill others with that air
And I am looking at a bunch of balloons
Wearing masks of many colours
All tied together
They do LOOK nice
Every kid wants one
But the wind takes them
Off they go
Blowing in the breeze
Slowly drifting apart
They forgot that all they are filled with is hot air
They could have gone on if only they had filled up with care
Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

  • where the sum is greater than the whole
    forgive me, synergy
    synergize my soul
    make me on the inside
    like the handfull of strings tied to beautiful balloons
    so many shapes
    and sizes
    all within the same bunch
    all riding the same hunch of baby's breath

    make in all of us a knot stronger than the obvious
    twenty three plus twenty three
    my twenty three plus your twenty three
    how 'bout it?
    my place or yours baby?

    if i stretch my eyelids out far enough and hook 'em around my ears

    do you think that'd look pretty wierd?

    oh yeah

    i do, too


    see?

    we do have something in common...
    ~all is full of love~

    and the hot air circulates
    when creativity is the being
    there will be times
    of hopeless thought

    get out get a job
    it sucks
    convicted
