Shadow In Your Eyes

I see shadows in your eyes. 
Magnified by the mountains 
that gravitate to the sky. The 
shadows now cover both sides. 
Searching and checking for 
stream of light. Checking and 
searching to see if your still 
alive. I wish a waterfall would 
drop from the mountain and 
baptize your life. Then numb 
the feeling of your crucified 
mind. I will admit it's hard to 
be humbled in a life full of 
crime. But if you stay positive
the only outcome is for you to 
shine. For procrastinated 
methods is a waste of time. Let 
courage be your guide. As you 
swim through the rivers current 
that brings on the tide. Honesty 
is even discovered through any 
lie. Just as long as you read 
between the lines. And begin to 
live life and not live to die. For 
every mountain is difficult but 
not impossible to climb. Just 
keep your eyes on the heavens 
and watch as the shadows 
vanish from your eyes. Then 
watch as you begin to fly.
