Smoky Hoss - Where

The stars and the moon
Dance to their own
Silent tune - while somewhere
Light years away
In the deepest dark
Is a far brighter day;
Such great mystery I cannot hear
Nor can I see,
Contemplating, I wonder,
Is it life out there...
Or is it just me?
A friend says I am thinker.
But, I know
He is just being kind,
For I've never been inside an institution
That forms deep thoughts inside the mind.
- The wind and time
Relentlessly move along,
They go forever onward...
So soon, I will be forgotten and gone.
- The lights in the night sky
Refuse to fade and die,
And I here ponder
To where do they endlessly fly?
- Perhaps if I only had
More of that knowledge and education,
Then would raise
My lowly intellectual situation, and
Improve my meager station.
- But, then again
With or without me
The river of life
Shall continue to flow;
Therefore; 'tis best to just remain
Simple and free,
Let it all go,
'Where' all eventually must go.......
