A BURST INSIDE

In its early burst of self expression, the world sprang
From the very same spirit as the body of man
An enormous explosion contained and demanded
The truth of it all had landed inside, with little fanfare or pride
True to itself alone
The trumpets hailed the approach
The bees began buzzing
A new day was coming so little did we understand
That we had no reason to plan
And as we grew through the fabulous days
Of wintery nights in our fur covered caves
We learned that love was the plan
So we kept it inside,  afraid of what that implied
And we attempted the big burst again
But this time however , we compared through competitive
Eyes
At the time this appeared more than wise
We had already given such mighty effort
We had already beaten the tides
But the one thing we missed
Throughout all of this
The God
That measured
Our lives.........
