Sailing a motionless stream
life is the promise it holds
deep within bodies that seem
sprung from a purpose that molds
what we covet and
I descend as my days unfurl
sensing a light as I cry
Born to this world
are my soul and I
Young upon treacherous legs
clutching the crutches of hope
spawned by the notion that begs
me to submit to eloping
insanity
in a sea of a true love's whim
awed by her motion I sigh
Learning to swim
are my soul and I
Still the voice
pierces the noise of the flame
rays of gold
ever untold call my name
from a game under ancient sky
trembling and awkward I try
Learning to fly
are my soul and I
Free on inspired wing
no thing could be more certain
air where my poems dare
to grow and know
what is mine to write
trusting the signs that I spy
Braving the night
are my soul and I
Dawn and her sobering touch
burning my castle of dream
leaving a wasteland of such
vivid deception it seems
like I've never been
yet I've seen and can feel the pain
crazed by this desert I cry
Praying for rain
are my soul and I
Parched and scorned
torn by the struggle of cries
wild I roam
finding my home under open skies
Searching forever
for beauty
searching forever
for life
searching forever
a true forever
where these lies
and deceits are hurled
into the light they deny
Leaving this world
are my soul and I
And as I leave this ocean
motionless
ascending all my notions
amused as I lose my name
seeing the truth as I die
One and the same
are my soul and I
