Somewhere on a tilted horizon

I heart tilted horizons, and tonight's sunset made for the perfect photo op. It also reminded me of something I once wrote...


Tumultuous by nature and swallowed in a sea of mayhem
Floating under the beefy brow of her majesty
in a silent conundrum

A conundrum for which there is no correct answer
and an answer that holds no rhyme
Lazy eyes and mute daydreams amplify this ludicrous lucidity

A heart lukewarm and in love
beating to a lyric and a song that has no end

Surrounded by a loquacious lulling transponder that beacons this lullaby

This lullaby that says love like you've never loved before
And be not afraid for you will be loved in return

Live like there is no tomorrow
for the shuffling of this mortal coil will come to us all

And be not afraid for there is an unbelievable beauty that awaits you on the other side

Listen as though you have def ears
And be not afraid for you will hear the most admirable melody

A melody in which only you alone will understand

Imagine the unimaginable
as though your mind is a precious coffer of treasures

And be not afraid
for there is no dream to large to be accomplished

Take a quick view from aloft through a birds eye
and marvel at life's splendors

For life on this Terra Firma can often be
a muffled and hazy distortion of what it really is

Tumultuous by nature and swallowed in a sea of mayhem
Floating under the beefy brow of her majesty
in a silent conundrum

A conundrum for which there is no correct answer
and an answer that holds no rhyme

Lazy eyes and mute daydreams amplify this ludicrous lucidity
