[00:06.58]i meant to do my work today,
[00:12.57]so many plans i had made.
[00:17.77]i’d check the mail, i’d make the calls
[00:21.35]save the world and sweep the hall,
[00:23.63]finally get my accounting done,
[00:26.42]sort the beans one by one,
[00:29.09]but i got waylaid by the morning sun.
[00:33.64]and i got absolutely nothing done.
[00:41.53]i thought i’d live a louder life.
[00:46.75]i’d learn a lot and get it right.
[00:52.61]i’d rent a loft i’d drink all night,
[00:55.63]i’d be a living archetype,
[00:58.27]and in a blinding flash of light,
[01:01.12]i’d see that one great insight,
[01:03.60]but silence called me deeper still.
[01:08.72]like nothing else ever will.
[01:15.63]i woke to hear an owl nearby,
[01:21.54]hunting something large enough to cry.
[01:26.98]nature’s always beautiful,
[01:30.50]the change of season always right,
[01:32.99]the moon shines cold and true and bright,
[01:35.67]and sets at dawn without a fight,
[01:38.54]and yet i could not find a way,
[01:42.93]to get myself back to sleep last night.
[01:55.57]i never knew just what it meant
[02:01.59]the way you smiled while you dreamt.
[02:07.08]and why my heart can overflow,
[02:10.48]and why mistakes can haunt me so,
[02:13.02]why nothing ever stops or stays,
[02:15.60]dust shimmers in the morning rays,
[02:18.50]i didn’t do the work that i’d had said.
[02:22.82]i just wandered through these thoughts instead.
