[bodytext] => So Fade off into the night sky Past the peeling walls and fume-darkened streets of cities Where nobody knows anybody anymore Into the stars, scattered diamonds Glittering sand on a volcanic-ash black shore You've never really belonged in the excited throngs Doomed to never look beyond the safe comfort of the earth Singing all the safe and happy songs That to you conceal life's own worth They've never wondered why they're here Never looked beyond the subtle comforts of Sports and jobs and elections, markets and wars But you, you've always felt different, out of place As though you don't belong to yourself anymore The person you are doesn't seem to exist Nor does anything else that you've known And yet the logic part proceeds to insist That you are, as is everything shown Ever stopped and wondered Why we exist here on this speck of dust Caught between fingers of space and time Ever wondered why all of this is real Or why we can think, and speak or rhyme? There's no real explanation And yet they don't see What all of the universe Is truly made out to be They belong, they have Normal things To cling to, to love Down here on the ground Far below existence above [comments] => 1 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 25 [informant] => Azurik [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )
