I had to
crash into the earth
to find my place among the stars,
had to
ride these waves and conquer sprays
to see land wasn't too far,
Watch me
break my own bones and rend my flesh
for a small glimpse of my soul,
learning to fly
through ageless nights
with wings I once refused to hold,
And then when
reaching daybreak's silenced heights
I felt arrows pierce inside
Leaving me to plunge
to depths
whose will was made
to have my courage euthanized...
so many times
I’ve fallen
in an attempt to rest but for a while...
but see me rise though
grieved and tired;
for I've been taught
to never tie myself to a ground
that can easily change into sinking sands,
to face the odds though death may be at hand
and its through all these things
I've lost all fear, all concerns,
and all cares.
For they are not allowed
into the place I seek,
where the earth
is indeed inhabited by the meek
solidly built
on hope’s outstretched hands
beckoning me to
.My promised land.
