I live in a world of swirling, twirling images
The perfect couple
The perfect life
The perfect vacation
The perfect ride in a car
I'm being sucked in
I'm well down in the tube now
Pop culture and capitalism have blacked all the windows
I only know representations of things
No REAL things
I'm living a sterile life, I hunger for infection
Keep your Penicillin, maybe the pain will wake me up
I'm not keen on dying
I just want to LIVE before I die

When one feels a longing for something intangible
The marketplace jumps right in
"You'd definitely feel better if you:
Bought this car, had this smile, lost that weight,
Took this vitamin, bought this exerciser,
Watched this movie, read this book, ate this food..."
All for the low, low price of $19.95.
But no,
I think I'll go
Where pace is slow
And be content to vent
And then patiently long for something intangible.

On quiet, gentle breeze
On quiet, mental seas
His presence can be sensed
As world from mind is rinsed.
The present seems transcended
His Presence now is blended
With all within, without,
Evicting every doubt.
In vigilance I'm still,
The vision sent fulfills
A living lifelong quest,
"Verbum caro factum est."
