One out of many
We have waited on the shores of time
For the universe to come close to our side
We have waited on the shores of time
When history will open its eyes
And the whole world will
Witness the sun as it slowly melts in the sea
and sea water will heat at a hundred degree.
We have made preventatives plans
To keep up safe on the land but you
have come aboard our ship and strip
away the protective layers from around it
leaving us vulnerable to sharks at sea
to destroy the human frame and leave us in pain.
The earth is naked and dry
and not one rain cloud is formed in the sky
nature has traveled a thousand miles
to tell you that the universe will cry,
Handkerchiefs alone will not dry the tears
And the Gods knows that you are alone there
Just let the tears flow
and go wherever it wants to go
Let the tears flow and fill the containers
that are dry with everything that comes from the sky
nature will grow and the hill and valleys will come alive
and what’s left on the earth will survive.
The days are closing in
and the heavens are getting ready to sing
the doors are open wide
and we are getting ready for the long ride
stay a while with me and accompany me
on the final leg of the journey.
Nature is moving swiftly and winter is calling me
to anchor my ships in the sea and have conference
with thee, you must make that move now before
Winter moves in and collide with the sun.
Winter is dodging around the mountains
and the migrant birds are flying round it
but it still remains one out of many
for not everyone can manage this journey
and not everyone can survive the tales of life
Nature has proven it and the heavens have endorsed it.
One of the many is just one out of many.
