A look at some different aspects of man. |
There, over there, far from here, not too far A man, almost a man, not a boy, smiles Thoughts of life, things gone past, long past, not long She dances, in his dreams, waking dreams, she laughs Never stopping, no reason, for what? Why? When? Carry on, thinking, dancing, worry is wasteful, regret doesn't fit There, over there, not too far, far from here A man, almost a boy, not quite a man, cries Thoughts of life, things to come, years ahead, days She worries, for his dreams, shattered dreams, still she hopes Never starting, too timid, confiding in no one, everyone knows Carry on, crying, worrying, laughter is wasteful, regret second nature Here, not there, right here Sits a man Thoughts of living usurped by deeds of doing She swoons, in his arms, forever safe, she loves Never Doubting, no time, action answers, proves her right Carry on, trusting, knowing, growing, reaping, sowing Three shades of man, three, of many |
