Soul Placation

Drink in all you can. 
The world isn't waiting 
For you to understand 
What awaits the day of man. 

Hold a piece of nothing, 
Revere it for it's simple grace. 
The edge is steep and hard to climb. 
Stay back, bask in the sun, and smile. 

Feel something unseen, 
Taste the pomegranate, 
Full of juice and bittersweet. 
Find the laugh in every day. 

Do you know what you're looking for? 
Can you put it into words? 
A little peace of time, 
Untouched by reality? 

Will you tell me your secrets? 
And waste away forever in a day? 
Will you hold onto everything, 
Then stop to placate my soul... 

If only for a while?
