Options 1987 (Utah)



A minute in time
A moment in space
Overwhelmed in curiosity
Leave me stuck in a place

Trying to break through this matrix
Is it just confinement from within
Can I once again save this
 
Which seeds to sow, which to reap
Which seeds to plant, which ones to keep

To be pragmatic
What does that mean
Can we surpass this place of lack
To really be seen

Shine a light upon the shadow
Where the imagination dances
Break through the trance

The options are endless
