Listen to Everything In Life by Richard Charles Stevens (Still Waters Suite)

Everything in life
Makes sense
Within
.
Everything in life
Makes sense
Within the greater scheme of things
From pavement cracks to cedar springs
Latent tracks to leading strings
.
Every foot race that we run
Is good grace facing once begun
Gaining pace as we escape the need to heed the starter gun
Walking straight lines may be fine
To spy delay times just for fun
But where our fate lies who’s to say
The root decay which must become
Should rate of climb be greater than decline
Then we can redefine the skies with great aplomb
In the bare minimum of labour time
.
Everything in life
Makes sense
Within the greater scheme of things
From pavement cracks to cedar springs
Latent tracks to leading strings
Everything in life
From ultramarathon to metre sprint
.
Everything in life
Requires perspective
Irrespective of directive
Disaffected by the claims we see defective
Redirected to the native plains
Progress through vegetative phase
And dress a mesh of dandelion stems
To hem with daisy chains
Lazy days may still make hasty getaways
Replace todays with yesterdays
Perpetuating
Rumoured of a better way
.

Everything in life
Makes sense
Within the greater scheme of things
From pavement cracks to cedar springs
Latent tracks to leading strings
Everything in life
From ultramarathon to metre sprint
Has its place within the greater scheme of things
.
Everything in life
Is ours to suture and commute aside confides a clue as to what view the future brings
Whether bluebirds sing
Depends entirely on perspective
And the mirror never lies
When we provide it light reflective

When we fly higher than requested
.
Spread our wings to span
Then spread them farther than we planned
For there are veins as yet untraced
Within the palms of our hands
Where everything in life
Is ours to charm and make grand

Everything in life
Is ours to charm and make grand
.
Deeper springs are ours to claim
Should needful things renown we fame
To clinch devout without which we remain impounded
Bound in chains
Too proud to change
Move out of range
Prove doubt ungrounded
Inch around it
Cost accounting
Losses mounting
Often touted
Scarcely gained
With nary two brains trained the same
Our varied aims seem ne’er the twain to meet and greet
Agreement reach
That common grounds
Can still we seek
The long way round
With no real need to bid retreat to feel unique
