Chasing Vibes
A vibe
A good time
A moment
Temporary
But not bad while it last
A good song
And a nice place
With good people
That energy
Those smiling faces
It’s pretty great sometimes
If only we could freeze time
Stay in those spots
And smile with them
But it has to be fleeting
Or else it wouldn’t be meaningful
If we didn’t suffer
We wouldn’t be able to be happy
The two go together
They compliment each other
The suffering wouldn’t be that bad if we didn’t hunger for the good vibes
And the good vibes wouldn’t be that good
If we didn’t have suffering to compare it too
Don’t go chasing vibes
Or spots in time
Don’t avoid the suffering
Wishing it would pass by
Take the two in stride
And keep going
Even if you never arrive.
