CLEAVING TO MY BELIEF

CLEAVING TO MY BELIEF

Standing sure too firm 
Will not fidget too dwarf
I'll get rooted and strong
To my belief and my vault

Weights little by great held me
They wanted me to be drawn aback
Held on to shin, my heel and back
Wanted a nightmare of me so bad

I looked, behold many hands
Beckoning to come, lost guard
In time when red spoke to blue
Yet never wanted a ride to bloom

I spoke to myself the only Lang
The Lang a quo, quo du speak
To cleave to my belief, don't let go
Till all forces are surrendered; subdued 

An inch to move was a heft to stay
The grip greater than van der waal 
Forces so stronger to renounce on call
Bones clefting flesh, blood fuming tide

Leave me be to myself
Wait for me at the valley
Where you thought I'd be
Till eternity  surprises you 

Glossing around a beam of light 
I saw but only a trace of hope 
Calling me to stay focused and move on
Against all odds to the land flowing in milk

Jeopardized on a cornered bed
To see if the time is still clicking
Walking rise to the sunrise tickling 
To see if the wheel of time is gleaming 

As the sojourn on the land of mass
Poured a weight in tons to blood of flesh
To make it hot, rushing like ocean tide
To make end-meet at the cost of vanity

Wow...such great a remark. Was depressed when that came up. Stood like a pillar to my ocean tide
