Awake

4 in the morning
rain in the air
Magnolias are blooming
the sky is moving
and I have nothing to fear

the birds warble and marvel
at the darkness

Sitting on my front porch
waiting on the storm
I can smell the growing things,
the world is awake with me
(Sleepless with me)

Make me a promise that can't be kept,
bottom of the hill,
bottom of the steps.
End of the street,
glass in my feet,
prettiest stranger I ever did meet

Smoke in my lungs
and clouds in my head,
there is no room,
for me in my bed.

Science/divinity

Wave, particle
Past, present, future
There is some universe in me

And maybe some of me
in a universe of yours
Mind, mine, reality
It doesn't matter.

Well, it matters.
But matter is made of electricity
And electricity is light
Loops and strings and pretty rings
and it's all in our heads

Look at that bright ripple reflection
It exists because you see it
You don't see it because it exists

And it's just like God
Or call him Light
Or call him Universe

(He is none of those things.
He is all of those things.)

I exist because he sees me
I hope he doesn't close his eyes

They told me I was
created in his image.
A hologram I guess

I'm crying
and I don't know why

Is the cat dead or isn't he?
