Abstractors



When we write ideas in the abstract

Are we painting pictures, matter of fact

Or are we choosing objective positions

And are these part of a greater vision?



If we depict a vision with great authority

Does it make it real or does it just ski

- Over the greater substance, full of facts

Or are we just sliding over something black?



Sense the abstract in life and then fill in holes

And then your own picture will have some soul

For you've pieced together a much greater picture

Now you're on solid ground enough to make you sure



- Tristram
