Chimes

Chimes

The bonds that tie and melting emotions

Intruding ideas of loss, a terrifying commotion

The bliss of childhood and youthful innocence

Then you’re an adult and understand penance

Loss is the ultimate winner

Don’t be fooled by satisfaction after an ideal dinner

Just as candles that burn and then adjourn

Happiness is always a timed sojourn

That’s why it’s the poet’s and artist’s intention to be a witness

It’s the philosopher’s task to fathom direction

The intellectual’s work to explain and educate

The job of all to demand only truth and never prevaricate

So important is to be truculent cognitively

Rejecting dissonance and to stand bravely

Reality is objective and stretches physically to quantumly

Happiness is dependent on acting rationally
