Settle Down

so I’m putting it out, putting it, out there
Laying it down open and wide, on the table
completely free and free of non-brevity
what else are you asking for?

I’m baring it all, to this big, open space
just throwing it out, no second thoughts to the haze
and whatever form of cloud is greying my days
I won’t turn around, am not gonna settle down

for this:
I have walked countless miles by now
all the seas and sands pales by comparison
and the splashes of colours that brightens,
they are…so few but so precious…
and I have argued my lifetime in the courts
I’ve debated two-edged swords but I
am unsatisfied with the way things are turning out
so don’t keep me down, I’m not gonna settle
- not this time.

some people keep looking for what they’ve already found
and even when they’ve found still they cannot grasp
somehow it remains so out of touch and incapable to reach
but is it more due to lack of will than lack of sound mind?
The circle starts nowhere it seems…
yet a closer look clarifies all points, and
squares out all those doubts into
empty space,… so to keep away hollow,
I, won’t settle,
- not this time
