Tressling..

So many souls on a do-it-yourself trip.
The manual out the window, ready to rip.
Do you also see them through the fog within.?
Squinty eyes, pudgy fingers and lithe bodies pulsating..

I've got stars on my hands and clouds under my feet,
I'll even throw a brick on that glass house if you'll let me drum the beat.
We had a hole and we had the plug..
but shouldn't we rather wait for our turn on the magic rug.?

A feather that's come loose, run it by your skin lightly.
Close your eyes and let the touch guide you dreamily..
I know you know the tune,
Come on hun, hum it under this full moon.

I felt i was meandering through and without a reason
not a tear or a frown but a clue not found.
You have been the rhyme and the color in the day.
And now, you are just a whisper away..

Stand under a wooden railway..
Watch the train of life rush by, above you.
Feel the smell of metal on God's breath..
And we wonder, isn't life just beautiful.?

Today. Is our day.
Today. We begin our life. Again.
Today. Is you. Is me. Is us.
Today. Is a beautiful day.

ya johnny, why don't you tell us the meaning of the word you've just created, for your benefit? :P

ha ha.. The highlight of this very ameaturish piece.

Tressling: is the act of standing right beside or under a railway track(under, would obviously be a rail-way bridge)and feeling the rush as the train whizzes by right next to you.

For reference: check out the movie: "Sunshine Cleaning". that's where the concept of this piece came about.

lies. I'm sure this is all buckets of lies. But what i like is, the way you've created a new word and given it a very interesting meaning. Nice job with trying to justify it all with a movie reference. Definitely a new one. I like! :P

now that the cheap joke is out of the way, i would like to discuss this one. i have doubts.
