Epiphany



To have a revelation
To feel so free
What a sweet sensation
Now I see

Ain't No River Wide Enough



Life is like a river
It gives you a little shiver
It turns and bends
Rapid and slow
This way and that
A steady flow
Always changing always moving
Harsh and somewhat soothing
It can overflow and dry up
Beneath the surface it floats
Over and through
Bridges and boats
Jump and swim
Go out on a limb
The current of fate
Many fish to see
If swept away
It leads out to sea

Scale



A feather on one end
Your heart on the other
One way it will tip
But which way will it go
If a heart is heavy
The balance will sway
A feather so light
And yet it falls
Be it heavy or light
A caring heart
Will take flight

Arrow



It can turn the tide
It can peirce a soul
It can fly without wings
And kill with great toll
Bow bent
String taunt
Straight and true
To the king it flew
In the beat of a heart
It beat no more
A single stick with a metal tip
A nation it was able to trip

What If



If he were to walk among us
What would he see
If he were to walk among us
What would he hear
If he were to walk among us
What would he say
How would he condone our actions
How would he read our story
What would you say in your defense
Did the ends justify the means
Before him
Would you even be able to stand
Did you look at your life through heavens eyes
If he were to walk among us
What would you do
Your audience may soon arrive
For any second could be your last

Quick Sand



Every step taken
Taken from you every step
Which one will be your last
Which one will mark a many more
Take caution in every courageous step
And with every courageous step bear no caution
A stepping stone gone and yet to be
At a moments what will you see

The Cosmos



In a single drop of dew
The world is turned in reflection
And revelations are found
Food no longer nourishes me
Sleep no longer rejuvenates me
I find that all I need
Is the pure cosmic energy of the universe
And the aura of good people
The only question is
Will I starve ?
