Dusty Plains
08:59:00
We see the sun and it is beautiful
The glow of it brings a desire to rise
Above the weaknesses we give power to
Step by step we proceed, closer today we are
Its call is fantasy twirled in reality
Our dare insanity weighed with belief
That somehow our wildest dreams could really be true
Step by step, we proceed, closer today we are
Our roadmap is the vision we think we saw
The pleasures of today become as shackles that bore
We stare at the rest, resting under the light
Step by step, we proceed, closer today we are
For we have seen something inexplicable
The joy it brings, undoubtedly immeasurable
We do not understand why, but it's too late to stop
Step by step, we proceed, closer today we are
Or are we?
Though we believe that one day, we'd stare at the sun
Gasping at our mind's grasping of its beauty
That we would announce with the cliché pomp we planned
"Started from the bottom, now we are grand "
Pity we don't realise, the sun cannot be met
That after the morning sun comes an evening moon and a new dream
That we pursue the air, and like butterflies evasive,
Step by step, we proceed, motivated by day dreams
So pursue with zeal, your deepest desires
But remind yourself they are passing soothers
Vanity upon vanity, riches and beauty still remain
Swept away with time, the fines of dusty plains
Because fulfillment in "things" does not really exist
Until we reach eternity and finally rest in bliss
The morning sun we see would rise and shift
and we would be occupied, with the chasing of it.
