Drinking From The Sane Water

Drinking From The Sane Water

Where has all my time gone?
It's like I blinked and lost ten years
I yawned and another five disappeared
I lie awake at night
Trying to reach the arms of sleep
But I can't
I'm thinking of time that's gone
Time I want back
Time I will never get back again
Does it exist at all?
Do we live in a time bubble that traps us inside?
I shouldn't have counted the time
Hoarded the time like it was loose change for a rainy day
I shouldn't have clock watched so much
Time is what owns us
Time isn't real
Time is control
Is it a fiction we make believe true?
Whose timeline is this we're on?
They say
There's no time like the present
I think they mean
There's no time in the present
I'm haunted by the clock on my wall
By the watch I wear on my wrist
Why do we need time to be our babysitter, our boss?
Why do we need time at all?
Time is what owns us
Time is our repression
I never saw the sun rise
Till I forgot how early it was
I never saw the sunset
Till I forgot how late it was
I've been drinking from the stale water
But now I'm drinking from the sane water.

Mental Wealth

Mental Wealth This is my place, This is yours You can come back to who you really are here The dreamer stays To taste the rain The nature's rust Tans the skin As the birds make music again With the only conductor being the new day Home is here. Here is always home Do you know where you belong? I do, I do Watching a grey squirrel pat down his buried treasure I saw him pretend five time before On his dummy runs, to confuse the competition This is where the real x marks the spot It's what i can see It's what i can hear It's what i can feel Flickering white glimpses of light The cracks of surprise Like timid ghosts Rain broke the silence of thinking The vibration is ringing like a bell Give me this beautiful vaccine For the sake of my mental wealth The only wealth I want V Topp

Long Time Awake

Long Time Awake The mountains scratch the sky Birds of prey shield the sun from unprotected eyes Nature is secure, Nature is the ruler. Clouds sprinkle rain with magical restorative powers There's fortune in this land, above and below the ground Everyday is a gift, Natural fulfilment the reality. The seas are high but the waves are mellow Everything's in order, everyone has their own space Eternal unity, Sensible philosophy 'One day at a time, One day at a time'. The hours go slowly by, Long time awake V Topp

Before The Clouds Move Over

Before The Clouds Move Over Riding his purple Harley Davidson At a thoughtful controlled speed Along the dusty winding mountain top road Not long now, till he’s at his sanctuary. The power of music still revving In his inner voice, his heart and soul Unfinished choruses Half thought out melodies A musician that’s born, not made. All was quiet as the bike cooled down He sat in his favourite spot Looking down onto the lake No distractions here. A tune he knows by heart, now plays in his head His lips mime the words This tune he started working on a year or so ago But he keeps coming back to Because something is still missing He still can’t leave this alone. The sun’s rays interrupt his composing Shadow of the bike now in front of his feet Then the birds from nowhere swoop down low Heading for the lake-side trees They start a melody so beautiful, no musician has ever matched But then they argue And the tune is lost...
