We stand on the rooftops Looking at the sky And listening to the sound of trains And change As it all rushes in.
I have learned now to Heed the words Of the wise man who told me to Fill myself with wonder Stuff my eyes with beauty And find the true value of everything ordinary.
Each day is much the same In the summer’s heat; But life is not a video game-- You play the same level every day Never quite reach the end And it is up to you To find And make The subtle changes That keep track of days And revel in them; Become intoxicated by Everyday adventures.
I don’t learn much anymore; The lessons from school never quite Adhere to the slippery surface And I could never recall the date. But there are some things That are chanted to me Again and again In my sleep In the peaceful moments of silence Teaching me with mistakes And encouragement And endless Repetition. Learn your lesson; life tastes sweeter then.
I’ve come to listen for Aristophane Whispering in my ear; Each twist she is there She controls the stars And the sun But only guides me As I walk my path. I delight in the voice That brings guidance and wisdom And sounds remarkably similar To my own.
As we stand above the world And stuff the new dawn into our hearts I glance at you And see your eyes filled with thoughts. I smile And ponder who whispers what In the silence of your heart. “What are you thinking about?” I tease. As the sun rolls clumsily out of the clouds-- Aristophane, it seems, Is distracted.
You smile. You say: “Tell me what you think about Being honest…. About being honest with Yourself.”

I liked this. And it's not emo. Therefore, excellent.
Also, I love that you spoke to Aristophane.

Wooooo.
And um...you do know who Aristophane is, right? Cause I mean, most people think that's the greek guy. 'Tisn't. That's the name for my Goddess.

Ahem. See, for reference: "She controls the stars and the sun but only guides me as I walk my path." Sounds pretty goddess-like to me.

three words to this...
I was entranced o.O
I couldn't stop reading once I started
I like the part at the end with being honest with yourself and I also loved the part with enjoying everything ordinary.
this...was reeeaally really good.

 Beauty. <3
You've been doing a lot of Takky-esque writing lately. I like the kirby-flavored Takky. =^w^= Much interesting taste.
