Down Down Down

Down Down Down an obscure road life goes fleeing
All seems well, is it not, time is so deceiving
Love to understand Cupid's Gift if it had but a reason
It grows without roots and knows no earthly season
But in all honestly love itself is not the quest
Rather the very essence of self I might suggest
Who am I? Why am I? Is there not more to life than this
I put all on hold as I go forth giving my love a farewell kiss

Down Down Down again the sun takes leave as darkness invades
Life slows down, in a daze, it's all a masquerade
I look to man, knowledge handed down, it falls short
To contemporary minds, answers sought, the truth they distort
Like a circus, insert the clowns, with the laughter they bring
Trivial the things in life along with ignorance to which we cling
So on and on goes the charade as I write it all off
As a new day beckons, on down the road, in my mind I scoff

Down Down Down will the curtain fail to rise anymore
This is fate but it's a lie there's always an encore
Time is a diversion, a distraction, on the eternal stage
Then a thought, like a seed spouted, my mind turns a new page
The revelation of self reveals a simple lowly fact
It's not about me or finding self, which adds up to a selfish act
Many miles traveled, many days wasted, running from love's rainbow
So back down the road traveled I go, to the one I love so....
