This is living life through meditation
taste the wind
and breathe a song of exclamation
now I gotta pivot
to a grin in observation
slaying dragons
cause my thoughts swim
in patience
Life is what you make it
colorblind the beholder
seems to make a palette
with only greyscale
Now i'm hearing tall tales
just to make a battle
Jagged edges playing roles
that I can't fathom
Now I gotta connect the faces
sideways, upside down to adjacent
burnt bridges nod they head
looking for replacement
clouds playing animals
rain no abatement
Life is what you make it
colorblind the beholder
seems to make a palette
with only greyscale
life is full of tall tales
you gotta fight the battle
the other half is finding
where your face
hides its shadows
a million pieces
better some than reces
trying to figure out
how I fit
what's between them
objective reason
misplaced in season
now up against the wall
repeat
Life is what you make it
I'm on a world tour
trying to find my placement
in different places
behind the faceless
I see the whole pattern
its up to me to find out
if every part matters
