[00:06.58]I meant to do my work today,
[00:12.57]So many plans I had made.
[00:17.77]I'd check the mail, I'd make the calls
[00:21.35]Save the world and sweep the hall,
[00:23.63]Finally get my accounting done,
[00:26.42]Sort the beans one by one,
[00:29.09]But I got waylaid by the morning sun.
[00:33.64]And I got absolutely nothing done.
[00:41.53]I thought I'd live a louder life.
[00:46.75]I'd learn a lot and get it right.
[00:52.61]I'd rent a loft I'd drink all night,
[00:55.63]I'd be a living archetype,
[00:58.27]And in a blinding flash of light,
[01:01.12]I'd see that one great insight,
[01:03.60]But silence called me deeper still.
[01:08.72]Like nothing else ever will.
[01:15.63]I woke to hear an owl nearby,
[01:21.54]Hunting something large enough to cry.
[01:26.98]Nature's always beautiful,
[01:30.50]The change of season always right,
[01:32.99]The moon shines cold and true and bright,
[01:35.67]And sets at dawn without a fight,
[01:38.54]And yet I could not find a way,
[01:42.93]To get myself back to sleep last night.
[01:55.57]I never knew just what it meant
[02:01.59]The way you smiled while you dreamt.
[02:07.08]And why my heart can overflow,
[02:10.48]And why mistakes can haunt me so,
[02:13.02]Why nothing ever stops or stays,
[02:15.60]Dust shimmers in the morning rays,
[02:18.50]I didn't do the work that I'd had said.
[02:22.82]I just wandered through these thoughts instead.
