A Plea for Reality

 The sun will rise tomorrow,
Two plus two is four,
Let me soul stretch across eternity,
Let my heart go on forever.

My world is bound by physics,
What goes up must come down,
My mind is a vessel of thoughts and dreams,
Ideas to plant in the ground.

Don't look too closely
At the world within your soul,
Or else you'll see the truth
That'll keep you from being whole.

My world is only real
So long as I believe it exists.
But the longer I have to examine
The more I feel I'm on a precipice.

So let my soul stretch beyond
The moment of here and now,
Let my heart hold onto this moment,
Lest my world be gone tomorrow.
