Sunsign was read, characters defined
in no time, you were an open book
present explained and future predicted
your story was there for everyone to look
False ego... you were told
justification did not work
even tried to end the discussion
but could not hide that smirk
Took some pride
wanted more
got an ego boost
to the core
That long straight road
needle touched 100 miles
windows down, head out
no rule, no code
You feel the rush of air
motor running, gas burning
hint of smoke, hear the last roar
doesnt matter, you want more
Middle of the highway
trees and clouds, birds in a fight
you thank for just one thing
there is no man in sight
Fresh snow on that far off mountain
you reach out, no avail
as human as you are
caught up in trivial trail
Sun is up, are you enlightened?
or petty things still on your mind?
one thing worth searching for,
Higher Truth, for you to find.
If not, then go back to yourself
there's ‘The Other’ in all of us
that second half of yours is trembling
to get out of the ruckus
when it takes over, you are not real
and that’s exactly what you want to feel
It got you here
treasure? money? nothing that it wants
surrender your ego, follow the lead, delve
in the words of Paulo Coelho
When you stop being you, you find your real self!
