I Am the Bend In the River

I am the bend in the river
I am the path to the sea
I the Great Taker and Giver
the natural state of the free

 Come taste the moonlight in motion
floating on clouds in the sky
climb to the height of emotion
laugh 'til the joy makes you cry

 Run to the edge of forever
dance 'til the dawn of the dead
challenge the greatest endeavor
say what no other has said

 Somewhere a message is waiting
somewhere a child wants to know
too many days of debating
time to get ready and go

Ticking,the clock keeps on ticking
slipping like sweet sugared time
look at the choices you're picking
mourning to night in a rhyme

Out of your window tommorow
waits for no maiden nor man
burn off the mists of your sorrow
ALIVE,now at last!
make a plan.
