A Moment of Peace
Just for an hour,
Let me experience wonder
As a child with new sight.
Just for a moment,
Let my gaze wander
Unhindered by flesh.
Just for a day,
With no barrages
Of our superior everything,
Simple things, simple things,
Why are they gone
From my dreams, visions.
Just for a while,
Let me bask, soundless.
No smoke or sky or fire
To turn me aside.
Let me drift a minute
In my own thoughts,
No peace in technology.
Let wonder and wander through my own life,
As I would, where I would, on my own ground.
Let me lift myself beyond the trifles of comfort.
Let me breathe pure air up where no one's around.
Bane
A moment's peace. No sounds or sights or smells, just you. Sound heavenly? How long has it been for you?
Let me experience wonder
As a child with new sight.
Just for a moment,
Let my gaze wander
Unhindered by flesh.
Just for a day,
With no barrages
Of our superior everything,
Simple things, simple things,
Why are they gone
From my dreams, visions.
Just for a while,
Let me bask, soundless.
No smoke or sky or fire
To turn me aside.
Let me drift a minute
In my own thoughts,
No peace in technology.
Let wonder and wander through my own life,
As I would, where I would, on my own ground.
Let me lift myself beyond the trifles of comfort.
Let me breathe pure air up where no one's around.
Bane
A moment's peace. No sounds or sights or smells, just you. Sound heavenly? How long has it been for you?
