A Reality

I stole a leaf from Gilgamesh, I handed Socrates a cup
Opened doors for the Buddha, showed a druid which way is up
Gave a sword to the Samurai, a stick for the witch
Gave an answer for Aesop, at the end of a cliff
I built pyramids to carry, built a house full of fire
I built the halls of Valhalla, and steeples for the wire
I built stones going in circles, and a wall around the town
Built a cross to erect, a totem on sacred ground
I am a reality, of some things defined
Doors to unknown, escape for the mind
Perspectives ever changing, lighting up the sphere
Letting it go, a beat you will hear
I gave a path to Dante, an animal to Ovid
A curse to Odysseus, Poe getting morbid
A whale for the captain, a thicket for Blake
A question for Whitman, Elliots land to waste
I gave a punchline to Erasmus, Schopenhauer attracts a magnet
Dionysus for the Greeks, Atlantis to always be wet
Yeats gets a quest, Rilke paces a cage
Sinbad gets a boat, Swift a Houyhnhnm to save
I am a reality, of some things defined
Doors to unknown, escape for the mind
Perspectives ever changing, lighting up the sphere
Letting it go, a beat you will hear
I gave tragedy to Shakespeare, Nietzsche gets a cape
Sight for Cervantes, Descartes to never be late
A bell for Hemingway, Dostoyevsky finds a balance
Rimbaud an identity, Neruda the deepest silence
I gave Thoreau a cabin, Thompson connects some dots
Billy gets a gun, Kerouac moving fast
Morrison can light a fire, Ginsberg can tell a joke
Guthrie finds a struggle, Marley throws off the yoke
I am a reality, of some things defined
Doors to unknown, escape for the mind
Perspectives ever changing, lighting up the sphere
Letting it go, a beat you will hear
I gave a collection for Isis, showed a Shaman a ladder
Stars for the Mayans, walking on the water
Told Machiavelli a joke, ears for Beethoven
Vincent gets urgent, Picasso a new dimension
Gave dreams to Tesla, Einstein a new reflection
Gave an expression to Chapman, Lennon can imagine
Cash an escape from prison, Hendrix a soul to scream
Pryor and Belushi, turning tragic into comedy
I am a reality, of some things defined
Doors to unknown, escape for the mind
Perspectives ever changing, lighting up the sphere
Letting it go, a beat you will hear
I gave eyes to the eagle, I made snakes intertwine
I gave ravens a box, making jokes over time
I gave salmon a direction, a whale gets a tune
A camel a desert, a wolf howling at the moon
I made butterflies an example, changing on the fourth
A bee can make some honey, Pythagoras knows its worth
I gave a horse a field to run, dolphins returning blue
Trees a place for roots, springtime for the new
I am a reality, of some things defined
Doors to unknown, escape for the mind
Perspectives ever changing, lighting up the sphere
Letting it go, a beat you will hear
