early morning thoughts, before sunlight.

I said

 RUN

I said RUN RUN RUN

I said dug and cover your eyes

This light is too bright

Even for the darkest looking eyes.

I knew this day would come

Eventually,

Too soon to be late,

To late for soon enough,

I said

CRY

I said CRY CRY CRY

I said drown the world with those tears

The earth is to dry

Even for a cactus to grow

And what to do with all this sorrow?

Is this an end?

Where is the grand finally,

Worthy of a bend?

I said

LAUGH
I said LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH

I said rejoice yourself

For all those things beyond our minds

All the things we can´t understand

And may never will.

Don´t make your mind ill.

I said

STOP

I said STOP STOP STOP

I said take a stand and enjoy

As it may be the last red light on your road

Always looking for the GO

What´s with all the rush?

I said,

When the end comes,

Just smile.
