Cross The line
I am standing behind the line to show you that life is divine
I am standing behind the line with one single goal in mind;
I want to live. My sorrows are so deep and sometimes I feel like a lost sheep, grazing on the mountain top penetrating the deep
I am looking for a place live and a vibrant space to fulfill my will, but every time I think about it, the shadows around covers me and something in the depth of my gut makes me want to weep, and when the sprit gives way, I bow down on my knees and pray and everything become still and I see those wandering souls walking briskly up the hill, in search of their former lives. There were hundreds of them walking in the same direction and I call out to them but they could not hear me. I am standing behind the line with heart fixed on the divine; I have nowhere else to go when I complete the show, I can see you standing there with no one to care, and I can hear my heart beat and the people crying out in the street .Their imagination grows bigger in the dark and the writing gets clearer on the wall, and I said to myself, “do I have to go in the wilderness of despair when I have so much to share, should I hold my breath when the stranger enters the room ? Should I climb the mountain top and enter the temple of doom? or should I meet you at the foot of the hill at noon? And just as I thought about it the clouds that surrounds me slowly fade away and hope embraced me.There is life in the tree and it is consistently blown with the breeze and when sun peaked through the sky, I am going to give you a heartwarming surprise so pay attention to time and reach out and touch the divine, in one second you will cross over the famous line, take a deep breath and stretch your hands towards me close your eyes and count to three and you will cross over the turbulent sea and there I will be waiting for thee.
