oldy

from '05

rivers shimmering, reflecting the sky
the air, fresh and crisp, always nigh
pure white snow, soft, cream
replaced by man's dream
mountains reaching, stretching, consuming the air
the earth turning, relaxing, solitaire
our smiles, our eyes, always at a gleam
replaced by a dream
patience, the ability to wait
a strength, a quality, ever great
gone, unseen, unwanted, like a quick decision
replaced by a vision
peace, human connection
feelings of care and affection
always taken, never taught
replaced by a thought
wisdom, importance of experience and sense
a strength to avoid taking offense
thoughts that appear and collect
replaced by a simple object
love, a feeling which cannot be well spoken
strong bonds that cannot be easily broken
our quality that is unique and supreme
replaced by a dream
selfishness, putting oneself first
leaves a feeling of perpetual thirst
makes one quick to anger and hot like steam
found everywhere, outside of a dream
