QUESTIONS TO THE UNIVERSE

Written by: J.R HILTON - May 2016

Came upon a minstrel, singing a song

 Mandolin playing so nice

I had to sing along

We shared a drink and pleasantries

And he was gone

 Wended down the mountain path, onto the plains

 Wandering is in my veins

 I’m going way down, until I reach the Sea

What is and what should never be, often is

I’ll carry on until, my legs won’t carry me anymore

Then I’ll use my sticks, to carry on some more

Sweet nights, sleeping under star filled skies

You only get so many tries

 When rhyme and reason isn’t there

That’s when you won’t care anymore

Stoking the fire that’s got me mesmerized, Asking questions to the universe

Picking the answers from the soft air blowing

Is time showing, that I must be going

Headed for the sea, I can already feel the waves washing over me

Sunsets in the surf and sand, it’s all part of my plan

 Free and easy like the slipping tide

And the wind just sighed

For the rest of my days, I want to watch the waves

 It’s so calming, medicine for the heart and soul

This could work for me, a little cottage by the sea

 Mostly isolation and serenity

The fresh air I breathe, I know I couldn't leave

But It's just fantasy on my part

The reality is less attractive than the art

If only the dream would catch up with my heart
