Lost in the wilderness, the forest through the trees
All merge to emptiness as I am brought down to my knees
I pause for just a sec’ to let the world spin round
To reveal some open trek leading to tame, tended ground
But I’m still alive, yes, I’m still alive
Shrouded in bitterness, I’ll crawl out of this wilderness and try
Counter, diverging paths, I’m forced to make a choice
Contend this demon’s wrath or let it silence my voice
No doubt I’ve done my slice to bring this on myself
But that pittance won’t justify this rapid draining of health
But I’m still alive, but will I survive?
Biased towards happiness, I’ll carve my creed in righteousness
And pray exoneration for squandering the precious dawn of the Day
That priceless jewel, confined by it’s peripheral fuel
Anyday can come the call to raze the walls, and suddenly be shown…
…All that is beyond, knowing all that is gone
Blown, pried from it’s bond, on the way home…
Who leaves familiar farms, swan dives into the sea
Of vast transcendent charms, of vast uncertainty?
He who keeps it alive, the dream that survives
Drafted towards openness, can almost feel the sweet caress of the sky
That boundless cool, clad baby blue
Never seeming too hard to fly
With wounded wings, ever sharpening
Will tomorrow bring just one more try?
To feel the pulse, to forge the ghosts
To make the most and show…
…Just what can be, and know what it is like to be free
And grow into the predestined me, and flow in distinguished harmony
All the way home…
