balance

for this balance i am elated
into old paintings i have faded
simple hints of reaction
lulled into beautiful attraction
curious of this winding road
for this reason i am sold
if i lay down to sleep
or dig a hole too deep
i can never grow
like i was long ago
our minds wander with curiosity
pulling at things so the eyes can see
i want to feel everything
to know what time will bring
my heart races so fast
wishing for this to last
i am a mighty tree
confident in all that i'll be
i make the sky shake
and i know that i am awake
the world is so dense and full
i wish to fall into it
and as i watch the surface fade
i know i will be swayed
by my unmistakable happiness
because i have come to learn
when life picks you up to let you fall
you must get up and continue on
when the sky grows heavy and falls
you must keep your composure
these things are simple
these things are deep
all things set to motion
because that is how it should be
what an amazing feeling
to be in love
what a comforting realization
to have eyes so bright
what a curious life
i have become lost in

you

you are the steadying
of my ever shaking composure
and every single word you speak
crawls down my throat
and settles inside of me
how wonderful are you
and the things that you do
that never seizes to
leave me grasping for more
you are the nights
when i lay in bed alone
dreaming my day away
you are a sentiment
of positive emotion
sweeping me off my feet
and every single time you speak
i am listening
with all that i have
