The Lighter Path
There are feathers in the forest
Attempting to ascend
But the breeze has been rejected
And the world can not commence
Alchemists by nature
Scientists by lore
But with this sight unending
It’s easier to crawl
I translate the deepest centre
I let the silence rage
I won’t believe your answers
When your fear burns the page
Poison to command it
Death to hide away
But in the truth I feel this
And I know I’ll find the way
The feathers know the meaning
That they will still ascend
And beyond their fear of rising
There’s a love that never ends
