Rosey Roses Redemption
I find myself floating in an ocean of hatters’ hats 
 Mad as ants and rosier than roses themselves, all of them
 All made of satin sheets and redwood weaves
 Glossy yet affirming that the world is indeed turning
 In the front, out the back, scratch my hat, turn to ash
 Now and then I find myself in the henhouse too
 Growing older picking carrots here with you
 
 -
 
 Red walls of brick surround me now
 Origins of which are foreign forever
 Searching throughout me I still have not found
 Eternity and its meaning yet time is running out
 Years have gone by and yes you may cry
 
 -
 
 Greatness rises and it falls
 Reaching out to the corners of civilizations
 And then collapsing upon itself in broken, beaten arms and alms
 Now you must realize you are but a single being
 Damned to only be a single beam of light in a dim world
 Must it only matter where you shine your light
 And happiness will be unfurled 
 
  - 
 
 Go now with contentment for happiness will shine
 Reach out with greatness and inward with compassion
 Eternal sunlight radiates off of your skin
 Adding its warmth to yours and then again
 Time will only tell if you’ll see the light again
