Enlightened Weather

Experience first, have to start somewhere
Jumping from the nest, no food from heir
Take a few jobs, learning and saving all you can
See the lake on the mountain, dunes in the sand
Books for experiences, beyond your limits
Fiction and stories, derivative extended
Philosophy of course, thinking through concepts
Poetry providing, feelings of our existence
Experience, knowledge, create and share
Are some steps, if you care to dare
Clock out the window, impossible to measure
Journey towards, enlightened weather
Knowledge next, connecting the dots
Seeing the angles, who’s being bought
Learning the value, from each and every object
All nice and fun, no gain without consequence
Spotting a wave, coming in just right
All lining up, escape from the night
The item missing, from never guessing
Biting the bullet, too long resting
Experience, knowledge, create and share
Are some steps, if you care to dare
Clock out the window, impossible to measure
Journey towards, enlightened weather
What can I do, what can I make
What can I write, what can I create
If not getting paid, what’s the point
Higher ROI, needed in earthen coin
Like going to school, learning to be a fool
Small and simple, minimal damage control
Learning to judge, ideas good and bad
Light pushing faster, shadows contract
Experience, knowledge, create and share
Are some steps, if you care to dare
Clock out the window, impossible to measure
Journey towards, enlightened weather
Finding a place, minds await the chance
Easy to share, know the audience
Happy or sad, too tired to think
Letting others on the play, while I drink
Good or bad, I can’t really say I care
I’ll probably just say the opposite, assured compare
Learning by experience, balance of the tao
Growing without time, stages of the show
Experience, knowledge, create and share
Are some steps, if you care to dare
Clock out the window, impossible to measure
Journey towards, enlightened weather
