1.
The cat pretended
To run from the noise of trees
That is just wisdom

To the end of the hallway
Remember nothing but fun

 

2.
An incredible
Jump on the coffee machine
For no good reason

Another morning started
The sun is yellow and red

 

3.
Sleeping on the rug
What kind of dreams are playing?
Do they mean a thing?

How different from real life-
Is it all the same the story?

4.
Look out the window
At the vast sea of the world
Understand little

The scope of the unknown things
Moves us to quiet wonder

 

5.
Canned seafood dinner
How can they make such beauty?
It never gets old

From Sunday and back again
Such a pleasant looping life

 

6.
Two in the morning
Run fast to the moon music
Mysterious life

This is when we understand
Each other more than ever
