Impressions

Ever get the impression

We are failing as

Human beings

Caught up in

An endless moment

Of consume

Distract and repeat

Consume

Distract and repeat

Satiating insanity

With no room left

For heart or soul

Only connected to

Disconnected connections

Overdosing on want

Plastic intervention

Rehab online

This must not be

Why we are here

Even as an aside

It becomes our

Distracted focus

‘Stead of being

Our intended being

From

“Presto” – Rush

If I could wave my magic wand…

I am made from the dust of the stars
And the oceans flow in my veins
Here I hide in the heart of the city
Like a stranger coming out of the rain

The evening plane rises up from the runway
Over constellations of light
I look down into a million houses
And wonder what you’re doing tonight

If I could wave my magic wand

I’d make everything all right

//

I’m not one to believe in magic
Though my memory has a second sight
I’m not one to go pointing my finger
When I radiate more heat than light

Don’t ask me
I’m just improvising
My illusion of careless flight
Can’t you see
My temperature’s rising
I radiate more heat than light
