We'Re On Our Way
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Within my minds eye I travel unto a moment upon these distant shores ~
Trying to get a glimpse of truth within this bittersweet world, this place
To extract the beauty from its face; there is beauty yet, not for all nor even, most....
Many let their hearts believe, let their eyes somehow see and, who am I ???
Who do you want to be? So easy to be lost, so easy to be whatever, if ever at all ~
Walking above this rugged terrain aside the crashing waves until, I come to a view
Gazing about amid wonder and so much to be thankful for in, the splendors of it all
Magnificent creation; still the silence as I breathe this beauty and bow my head....
Only to look down now and find that my heart is troubled deeply inside
My eyes beginning to water as I peer upon the rocks and, the tumultuous tides!?
Crashing over and over again atop this precious, priceless light ~
Trapped and alone, abandoned and afraid, drenched in pain; tears falling down
Starring at the ground, humble and beaten this beautiful life, caught in a storm....
Bitter and cold; flesh and bones, hollow eyes, fragile, and what are dreams???
