Seams of the Soul

Staring down on civilization,

I came to my realization:

I climbed and climbed and all for nought.

I climbed and climbed like a robot.

—————

Chasing the dreams of corporations,

Filling myself with infatuations.

I want that car, and I want that house.

I want two kids and a lovely spouse.

—————

But what is that? And what is here?

I wanted love... but grabbed a beer?!

—————

It's true, it's true, I was deceived,

I fell in love with lust conceived

From the minds of advertisers

Building my dreams from ivory towers.

—————

In that moment, I dropped the beer,

Said to my spouse "Come closer, dear,"

I want to know your dreams and goals

And not just what your beauty shows.

—————

I know there must be more to love

Please tell me what you're thinking of.

Share with me your wildest dreams

And let me help you sew the seams

—————

And sew it all with you together

So we can be in love forever.

Did you want this house, or even this car?

Or did you want to fly afar,

Travel the world to distant lands,

Climb on mountains and touch the sands?

—————

Sew now. I'm sorry, I apologize.

Only now do I realize,

It's not about what I make or do,

But time together loving you.
