King Me
I spent the day chasing rainbows
looking for treasure where earth meets sky
horizon just beyond reach
I ran across the surface of my memory
afraid to wade in
the depths too dark for my liking
Yesterday - a mystery
just stored as chemicals in my cells
Looking for a girl to marry me
If I make it to the end of this game
please oh please king me
I really like this piece but for reasons only obvious to myself. Sometimes it's funny how we will look for things. Sometimes they are things that are real, like our car keys or something that we put somewhere out of the way so that we could find it easily later. Sometimes we are looking for more abstract things like happiness, the meaning of life or a sense of belonging. We chase rainbows, we chase our own tails, we chase our shadows. There's so much chasing going on... and a lot of the idioms sound like chasing anything is totally futile. What am I chasing today? Peace out.
