Only Our Whole World Depends

I speak, I eat, I go to bed

To live with all that I have said

Dreams connect the scattered mess

In the age of the digest

 

I squander time like sand in glass

Sifting out the slow from fast

Ambition wipes a drop of sweat

That aimlessness would have kept

 

To cool my heated temple walls

And keep me cozy all-in-all

Away from sparks inside my brain

That leap against the mainframe

 

That yearn to bring me to my knees

And others to apostasy

I seek to know what's but a hunch

Have faith for breakfast, truth for lunch

 

To fill my soul with these victuals

Spitting out the bones of riddles

Basking in delight of wonder

Ocean of thought, pull me under

 

What has no limits but our time

And willingness to upwards climb

The patience to think through the end

Only our whole world depends
