I’m the galaxy you’re failing to navigate
The stars guiding you through disarray
Yet you cling to black holes and comets
In search of the mind you wish to explore
Trapped in a lifeless vacuum for foolhardy desires….
To claim what can’t be held
Intangible and free
Happiness just tangent to you, but inside me
Have your efforts failed now that you’ve lost your way to my galaxy?
“I’m the mind you’ll never understand”
I’m the ocean you’ve stranded yourself in
Fighting my will left you abandoned with nary a soul
The life around you? I Supplied them.
Birthed them. Nurtured them.
Yet you misconstrued fact and fiction…
I am the original source of chaos
Watch my heart gray these waters
And transform gentle seas to a violent storm
Only to cease by the will of my emotions…
I am no force for man’s will
Formless and vast, yet you depend on me for life…
“I’m the heart you’ll never break”
I’m ethereal, precious, and strong
What I lack in form, I make up in power
An indescribable force that fuels planets
No, the solar systems at my fingertips
As I massage their tension
Never weary of tsunamis
For I ride the waves with a nary a care
Formless, angelic
The happiness they sought for?
I’ve stashed in a secret location
Beyond the depth they know
To my precious, ethereal core
“I’m the soul they can’t mimic”
A golden trio of love…
The golden rule of the universe…
You’ll find my happiness with in the confides
But if you seek to conquer…
Tangent Happiness is all you deserve…
