Like Air & Water
Hello, I wish we would have connected earlier
We should meet in another life
We should meet in air
Me and you, with a new world between us
In loving people too much, or not enough
I felt the scenes of my life
Anonymously, my consuming interests
Were psycho-social
If not, to talk to everybody
As deeply as I could
We would sleep in open fields
And travel west in our hearts
To walk freely into the night
Maybe in, another time and place
I wouldn’t be so terrified of
The malignity of the mechanics
Of how separated our lives are now
A schizophrenic individualism
Where profit counts more than people;
Goodbye, I wish we would have known each other
We should meet in another life
We could meet in water
Me and you, without the deluded sense
Of desperate egoism of this culture
I will leave our unity for then
Until then, I will take a deep breath
To listen for the shore, that’s the heart
At the other end of time.
I’m really digging this one, with each reread. I’ve also sat where the lady’s sitting in your picture. It’s quite close to here. A nice image to your words. Cheers ~
Thanks Abu, crazy that you recognize that place in the picture.
