Inspired by "Late Echo" by John Ashbery
Alone in the world easy to feel empty and disappointed
We know there is more to life than office jobs and repetition.
Or, how much snow the streets fill each year, it's the same old things.
In other ways, the world is still living over and over again
For love to continue and life never ending.

The buildings lighting up at night giving exposure to the lost lands
And the animals flying around finding their families
Hovering over you is nobody but yourself from winter to summer
For you to finally slow down and surrender to the light
Saying thank you to god, whom has given you each breath to take.

Only then can you slow down
Of our lives are too short to be multitasking and contradicting,
And with both eyes open to the universe
The shadows will slowly disappear and the clouds will move
Out of everything, you can have anything.
