so here i am still thinking more.

if i pay attention to all the details
i will not be where i am now
i would have been stranded in an island
surrounded by sharks

if i repeat every word you say
i would have been stuck on a cave
and i would not have lived
the life i love

you see, i must see the world as a whole
though vague, though far
i must always move towards a horizon
where perhaps i can find both my sun
and moon

i have listened more to the sound of my heart
though i have not followed most of its foolishness
i have restrained myself and fasted happiness
some things sweet shall destroy me
much of the time i have taken the bitter pill
and so here i am still thinking more.
