Hidden Jars

You’ll never know

The secrets that hide

Inside the galaxy jar

By the jar of the tide

Full of many mysteries

That galaxy jar of mine

And that whimsical jar

The jar of the tide

Scents I smell

the ocean breeze

Different shells

In which I please

Each shell is different

In many many ways

Just like the people

All Lost in a maze

Oh hidden jars

Shed your bright lights

Onto the people

Who cry many nights

Life can be hard

Just push through

Trust me, I know

I’ve cried too

Sometimes at night

I count the sheep

Especially on the nights

When I really can't sleep

I sometimes wonder

What would happen to me

If I was a person

Lost in the sea

The waves would roll over

Right over me

Then I would think of

The jar of the sea

Both jars are symbols

Of all who are lost

In the twisted maze

At which there is no cost

It's a difficult path

The entrance is free

You don't want to exit

Take that from me

Many people break

The jars shine their light

In the twisted maze

which we call our life

Whether it's the galaxy

Or the shells in the sea

Everyone is lost

Especially you and me
