Quiet Contemplation

I have come to the conclusion
As I sit here quietly

That if I had a vision
I could not sit here idly

But it is unfortunate
As I do not have one

And I sit here in quiet contemplation
Because the world outside is loud

I think of others who have sat here before
Like mother's who's sons have gone to war

Is this what I ought to thought?
These memories of quiet contemplation?

I sit here in an airport
Thinking of counting

Counting down the seconds, hours minutes.
We all sit in quiet contemplation

I sit here within it, thinking of my cold heart and actions
Thinking I'm not the one for you

The storm outside grows,
Will I catch my flight on time?
How filial time is!

It seeks to punish the ones who watch it,
The filial time, watch it ruin lives.
And make memories, filling nostalgia into the silky shadows that seek the moving sky and tide

And I wonder why the mother weeped the son that died
As I am unable to contemplate such a misery with the tide

It looks like I'll catch this plane on time
And when I arrive

What will I do if the one I seek has died?
What would you do little fox if the plane stopped in the sky?

Would you cry if I died? Would I cry you? I think I miss my cat, more than I miss you.

I wonder if I had a vision, would I chose better than you fox?
I do wonder, I do think, I sit here quietly, quite idly

And I wonder if you contemplate too, because your words aren't ever thought through.

But this quiet contemplation must end,
Because my journey home, is just around the river bend.
