*For my good friend; Ralph Cole. *
This is part of my "A Collection of Shorts" Album.
All songs on the album were made in class, in under 90 minutes.
Beware, the song starts out simple, but it develops very quickly and goes from what one might see as an ordinary song, to a song bouncing with life.
I wrote a poem to go along with the song as well;

"A Dust Shaped Man."

Focus on a man.
The single man in the universe;
His two feet firmly placed in their rightful residence.
His neatly buttoned shirt, and loosely collared coat, worn with no emotion.
His pale skin, green eyes, and simple determined complexion speak without words.
He watches his vast landscape; still.
Empty.
Devoid of life, a single observation.
A warm peaceful quiet and timid stillness.
A silence so vivid, so triumphant;
One's senses could not comprehend.
He is humbled by this presence, by this uninterpreted truth.
This is the wisdom he seeks.
He see's nothing but himself, quiet, and understanding.
True to his image;
True to his being.
If only...
This is not his reality, not his truth.
His silence is broken by the epilogue he calls life.
His calm flowing landscape, filled with fragmented distortions.
His trust, his simple structure, shattered by blunt, meaningless experiences.
Misfigured and aged, an old face.
The same old face.
The same old face that has always been... No longer!
It is time to change;
It is time to change!
Leave behind, this old dust shaped man.
Because now, it is time to change.

Enjoy!
Rate and Review, my friends, and I'll do the same for you.
Sincerely,
Aaron.
