Open your eyes again for a moment
to the detail of this world
Each tiny insect breathing
Each lipid, leaf, and furl
You see it for a second, then fall back to sleep
We see it for eternity the duty of this landscape
Floating... Screaming... Awareness
All the time
How we envy you humans when you
gently close your minds
You fly into a thing you call boredom
A talent, oh so rare
Anything you don't want to see
You quietly ignore
A trillion tons of flaming force, a furnace: nuclear
You turn into a children's song
Twinkle,
twinkl
little
star
Floating... Screaming... Awareness
All the time
How we envy you humans when you
gently close your minds
You build your little faerie stories
as shells around your mind
To keep at bay infinity
And never-ending time
You're almost deaf and blind
Your lives are so short
Teach us how to end it
Teach us how Death is called
Floating... Screaming... Awareness
Of everything
All the time
How we envy you humans when you
gently close your minds
