Capture of the Light

Waking up in a new element
Started my day with nudity met with my window breezes
Called that jerk of a boss and gave him back his position
Cooked a breakfast I've never done before... 
Burnt scrumptious bacon and scorched scrambled eggs
Finally dressed in bell-bottoms and print tops so 60's of me
Emptied my bank account to see others share my wealth
The Gods are kind to me, but I don't question their ends
I know my place, it's at the sun where I'll be soon
Walked the streets preaching in silence with a smile
Met a new lover and decided its never too soon to first make love
Gave up my American life for a chance to become a foreign tourista
I seized my fate and grasp hold tight my fortune
Forgetting that yesterday I said I hated you
Remembering today that it could be both our last
Visited my family who never loved me
Showered them with mine
Laid down to die with contemptness as my burial
Living my life with no restrictions
Loving a new me 
In love with a NEW DAY
