My First Rime

Dan Bull

It's
It's
It's like I'm...
It's like I'm seeing for the first time
It's like I'm hearing my first rhyme
It's like I'm seeing for the first time
It's like I'm here

My ship was wrecked
I hit the deck
And then I woke in a utopia of picturesqueness
Limp and breathless
But getting restless
I think events like this are sent to test us

The unplanned
The unreal
The unknown
The unsure
The unseen
The unshown
The uncanny
That you cannot understand
Because it's unfathomably
Unimaginably
Unraveling
Your unconscious
Unrolling
Uncovering
The unspoiled
And uncommon
It's unfolding

You cannot undo it
But everything you undergo
You're going to come through it
Through time and season
Released on an island retreat
With nothing but rhyme and reason
Shrines, Idols and carved figurines
Will be debris when I give up what I believe in

As the sun goes down
The moon comes out
And the same landscape seems new somehow
It's like I'm seeing for the first time
It's like I'm hearing my first rhyme
[x2]

I'm shipwrecked upon an island
Silent but for the echoes of a siren
It's wild what the perspective and the light does
My head's spinning, it's really messing my mind up
Got to do something positive
So I'm running reconnaissance
Discovering Phenomena beyond my cognisance
Ominous monoliths
Not the commonest obelisks
Survive through time like honest promises
And rise prominent
My hypothesis:
Divine providence
Can I climb up to the summit?
When I'm confident to move free

Like the sand between my toes
Or the way that the wind blows
More power to me
I wonder how it would be
To run around between the towers and the sea
Where the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the great beasts lived in peace
Aston fields

As the sun goes down
The moon comes out
And the same landscape seems new somehow
It's like I'm seeing for the first time
It's like I'm hearing my first rhyme
[x2]

First time (first time)
First rhyme (first rhyme)
First time (first time)
First rhyme (first rhyme)
