Every complication
such as nature
in relation
infinite spectrum like elation
emotional provocation
what matters isn't matter
a platter of truth might
sight whats latter
So simply so
the plane may go
yet beauty
tranquility can be found
by ground
the paradox
is out at the docks that tell you sanity
is sane yet crazy and plain
truth thats there
is that all exists and yet does not
seas that rise grass that pries
bury yourself within the lies
mortality to sate
so simply thats to create
forgive the greed and spend the deed
drink the mead and spoil the sport enjoy whats free
and forget the sort.

this is really good. you liked the storm i see!
lol it poured out of me like one of our junior year beat boxing/rap epiphanies,
haha ilu dork! -
I love Emerson's writings too
On a side note, I have to say the font/background combination hurt my eyes a bit
You have great ideas here--- my favorite line might be "what matters isn't matter"- so true! The first half of this was stronger, the ending seems scattered. If you pulled the last few lines together with better transition, this would be fantastic. Still enjoyable,
Thank you for the entry
