Locus
Locus
Sometimes I feel I need to focus,
Wake us up from this shared dream;
Takes a moment to realize I woke us;
Calm us down, try not to scream.
There’s a moment on every path,
When faith and prayer don’t cut it.
Life screams at us it’s mighty wrath
We close our eyes, our mind, it still won’t shut it.
We lose control and reality will poke us.
We buckle down, prepare to fight
Defend our particular view, our locus
Bring our dreams starkly into light.
No dreams for the weary, the wicked get no rest.
Apathy for the teary; life is a constant test.
Sometimes I wish a dream would come true.
I hold firm my ground, wake up and so should you.
Life is but a series of events,
We organize, prioritize,
And try to make some sense.
Fine tune in on your point of focus
Despite the blur in the way.
Remember your point, your presence, your locus.
Get up and seize the day.
