how many souls lay blinded by that creed
stuck on a rock that's lost in the vastness
fatherless child of mother randomness
the underlying view that fosters greed

satisfied by the laws of mechanics
kindergarten of logic and reason
unfit for the tests of intuition
barred from the master class in holistics

until after the time they could be seen

is it a door i hear, a voice, a pace
or only an echo, a whim, a wraith
a breeze, a thought, a threat without a face

be still my beating heart, oh do not race
stay with me in th

to rekindle nature
but take what from the day
provides shallow pleasure
