Creatures

As creatures we love
As creatures we play
As creatures we live
Til the end of our days

From first opened eyes
To very last breath
We search the skies
For meaning and depth

Cast open our arms
Beckon others inside
Working our charm
While feeling such pride

Move into our shell
The feelings are bland
Release from this hell!
Create a new man

Chin up and refine
Feel it again
Cross over the line
Where have you been?

Come forward, do enter
Create a new home
Not merely a renter
A permanent loan

Take what you need
Just let me be
Why must I plead
You cannot see

The whirls the twirls
The endless delights
The falls the calls
On torturous nights

In the end all alone
All worries and cares
The cycle churns on
I am not there.
