Never Been the Burying Kind

The family plot proved a faulty scheme
I have never been the burying kind
My waking life no more real than my dream
A butterfly chased with an open mind

I am just starting and starting to know
That I mean to write if it takes all night
To see how much I can possibly grow
As long as it takes till I get it right

Some people say now I can take it slow
They mean well they just fail to understand
There is no certain milestone of success
Along the long road to the promised land

So I will just keep wandering I guess
Writing down things of interest I see
Most of it very strange some of it true
Of interest in any case to me

May it too be of interest to you
This word water world I swim in and thrive
At least we have something useful to do
Since nobody gets out of here alive
