Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Quietness comsumes the room, consumes me.
No noises sound, yet can be seen.
Time is going, but at a crawl.
The world is idle, by and by,

Rain falls, yet makes no puddle.
Sun shines, but gives no warmth.
Life is lived, yet cannot be found.
The world is idle, by and by.

Night comes, but leaves the light.
Death devours, yet life still lives.
People leave, but always stay.
The world is idle, by and by.

Creation occurs, yet never is known.
Thought assumed, but never said.
Dream made, yet never realized.
The world is idle, by and by.

Pain felt, yet pleasure given.
Disease detected, yet never cured.
Things given, yet taken away.
The world is idle, by and by.
