BLISSFULLY INDIFFERENT

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

STARS HUNG LIKE CURTAINS ACROSS THE SKIES

AND DOWN BELOW THE ICY WAVES IN DARKNESS 

FIND THEIR WAY TO DISTANT SHORES

WHERE ECHOES AND PREVAILING WINDS

KEEP ON BRINGING MORE

FATHOMS BELOW IN THEIR WATERY GRAVES

THEY WATCH WITH FASCINATION

ETERNALLY BRAVE, AND DAMNED TO THE SEA

NEVER HUNGRY AGAIN

JUST PATIENTLY AWAITING

FOR AND END THAT NEVER COMES

THEN COMES THE MORNING SUN

TO SPLIT THE DARKNESS, LIKE IT'S ALWAYS DONE

JUST BEYOND THE SEA

WRAPPED IN CONCRETE,STEEL AND GLASS

THE FAITHFUL ALL GOING SOMEWHERE

BUT I'M AFRAID TO ASK

BLISSFULLY INDIFFERENT, BUT FULLY AWARE

OF ANOTHER RHYTHM

WAXING PEACEFUL WITH GRACEFUL CARE

ANOTHER DIMENSION

I MIGHT SEE YOU THERE

LAYING ABOUT ON AVERY SUNNY DAY

IN THE VICINITY OF WATER AND OBSCURITY

WAVES AND SEABIRDS, FILL MY EARS

 WITH SOUNDS I LIKE TO HEAR 

FILLS MY SENSES, AND MY HEART WITH CHEER

CAUGHT IN THE WHIMS OF SUMMER

HYPNOTIZED, A RECURRING DREAM

FINALLY REALIZED

LOOKING BACK SOMEWHERE

BACK IN 1974

IN A PLACE I WASN'T SURE

I SAW THE SEAMS RIPPED OUT

OF TOO MANY DREAMS

IT MAKES YOU HARD

STEELS YOUR POSITION

NOT TO MENTION YOUR OPINION

SOMETIMES IT ALL COMES BACK

IT'S NOT PERFECT, THERE'S A CRACK

IN MY SENSES

RAISES UP MY DEFENCES

SOMETIMES IT'S OKAY

TO BE BLISSFULLY INDIFFERENT

DISTRACTED BY PROMISES MADE BY SUMMERS FADING LIGHT
