Saturation my dear, Saturated.



I have leaped, jumped 
And stretched to my limit.
Still I find myself empty.

I have strived to pace with the world around me.
And lost my rhythm my body yearns to find.

I have learnt learnt and burnt for a living.
I have lost the tune my minds reminds me to sing.

With a stomach full of food a dog makes peace with himself.
Why do I need the higher to just sit with myself?

I deny myself of peaceful solitude to justify my distraction I hold on too.

Time ticks away like hand in your hand.
Waking up to another morning to grind.

A Handful of Earth



As gypsy woman unfolds your future through her crystal ball.

I unearth my ancestors in a handful of fertile soil.

So many battles fought.
So many lessons taught.

In this cycle of life,I still believe,
I am not the one to be caught.
While I sit here and rot.

As bussiness flourished,
Civilizations were nourished.

Gods remembered,
Lovers forgotten.

While boundaries were broken,
Truth remained sealed.

I stand here reminded of the greatness this land has borne.
I stand here reminded, born of a seed from this earth.

Only to return to this handful of soil as dust, to fertilize this earth again.
