Truth or dare, dare, always dare, truth be known

you know, be free makin', the
ingredient of ever

we all share. So dare, the truth can never lie,

and you know good from evil,

right, y' good t' go.

Leap into ever after now as if this has value,

ab
out- about time, we nail about right on, about

as a pre-position for trans any thing, mogrification, f'sure,

about is impossible to point at without

observational bias confirmation and cognotible gnosis snot

dripping into a realm after logos, it's

complicated con carne and

more layers of logical

thought, all sifted and sorted, so here

we find no reason for war... and no fear of dying.

How freeing...

Just
about (adv., prep.)
Middle English aboute, from Old English abutan (adv., prep.),
earlier onbutan 
"on the outside of; around the circumference of, enveloping;
in the vicinity of, near;
hither and thither, from place to place,"
also
"with a rotating or spinning motion,"
in late Old English
"near in time, number, degree, etc., approximately;"
a compound or contraction of 
on (see on; also see a- (1))
+ be "by" (see by)
+ utan "outside," from ut (see out (adv.)). right... you knew it, not me.

About time means many things you may imagine,

all save the absense of good, actual tasted, tested, verified good,

all are possible - even probable - at a given point

about, is a miss, almost all the time.

who jah gonna call h'laf weardan? Hey, Sue, boy, Sioux, we concile

we are near in aptitude to our fathers who were wage slaves
in one nation,
under God's flag with all the battle ribbons, all the ribbons furl

url rhymes bettern world, furl a flutter fly, swear alliegaince to this sky

we got by, hell t' pay, hell we paid, we got by

the rest remaining is ours and mr. hicks's peace on earth.
this is that bubble of being.
As it evolved from the peaceful kingdom over and over,
infolding the american dream to this
on a more galactic scale.

Out there,
liars prosperity
don't disturb the true
heirs of the wind, in the end.
Is free will determined to make a fool of me?

You took a risk by asking me out for dinner
that happened last 5th of September
A date I will always remember
One dinner that leads to another, then another

You always remind me that every second is appreciated
Nothing is ever taken for granted
I have never met someone so consistent
And also very patient

You regularly make sure that I have eaten on time
You respected my boundaries and didn’t dare to cross a line
Habitually asking me if everything is fine
All of this, I will surely treasure for the rest of my life

Unless we tolerate,
We are not peaceful.

Unless we endure,
We are not patient.

Unless we let go,
We are not yet free.

Unless we trust,
We have no faith.

Unless we are compassionate,
We are not humane.

Unless we care,
We do not truly love.

Unless we love,
We have not actually lived.

Unless we understand,
We do not fully know.

Learn patience
Like it's your first steps.

Learn to be patient with yourself.
Learn to be patient with others.
Learn to be patient with your environment.

You are
Always
Waiting.

Do so patiently.
Just need to hear this myself really

I’m weeping,
I forgot how to love, I need you to reteach me.
Been abused so long my heart’s no longer speaking.

Want to tell you all of the secrets it’s keeping.
You’re being so patient, I know this isn’t easy.

A prisoner of my own past, I just wonder can you free me?
Tried to hide it so long, I’m so glad that you see me.

Love has been a travesty for years.
Everything I knew just disappeared.
I want to spend more time with you.
I want to love just like you do.

Apathy hit me so severe.
I want love to be something I revere.
Love came back on time with you.
So let me take my time with you.

orange dewdrops chase your tail
follow you oh so quietly
the stone fox creeps into your world
trails behind you ever so slightly

patiently
your message waits for you to pick up the phone
you need to know so you may reap what you have sown

you are never alone.

They told me
Someone's gonna hold me
And I believed them
But no one came
I waited
I waited in vain
They told me lies
And I believed them
But even though
They tell me nothing
I can still hear them
I see it their eyes
But it's all just lies
But I'm patient zero
They caught it from me
So when they're all gone
What'll be left of me
Been a while.
