Wander

WANDER
Today our minds will wander
In directions unknown
Just seconds prior

They will wander from regret
And wander from reworking
They will wander from longing
And wander from instigating

Today our minds will wander
Into the atoms that make up everything
Where one gets his energy
is where my mind is heading

Do the neurons send and receive
a simplistic love that
that’s easy to breath

Or do they recycle the negative things
Twist and turn the heart until the mind is useless
Waisted molecules when the past replaces dreams

When the mind stops roaming
And you’re left in stagnancy
So full of mourning
the loss of discovery

When the mind stops roaming
Petty grievances become one's peace
Wack job tongues, senseless cruelty

The kind of shit that gets your car keyed

Dear God, Jesus Please
I forgive this world
for all its deeds
Reckon with life
Reckon with me

Flush the residue,
In me and him and her and we
Until the heart feels renewed
And the brain goes free
Flush the residue
Let me wander past
what pits me against me

Today our minds will wander
Into the nothingness
of love unending

They will pointlessly even ponder
what could repaint everything

And yes they will definitely wonder
What good lies within each man
The true beauty of life
Perfectly revealed within

They will wander into new colors
They will wander into themes
And somehow uncover
What unifies our deepest dreams

Today our minds will wander
They wander to no real end

Today our minds will wander
Until we feel human again

Until we feel human again
