life's dichotomies the blacks or whites, ins or outs the falsehoods or truths
bypass the hazard detours become the way true closure's clarity
life comes as a blur wanting no time for focus until it has passed
what is it, this life I think I may know - do I this life, what is it
all that lies ahead were once choices to be made from now comes the then
thine eyes seek not truths they seek only what's been shone trust thine heart alone
the moon that waxes is also the moon that wanes beauty has phases
yea, the day must end and yield its light to the night ere night shines again
reach beyond thy reach seek far beyond thy vision dream beyond beyond
the sun's shimmering casts cold and silent shadows with its warmth and light

may the paths we walk though they may diverge at times stay true to our course

cosmos expanding new horizons revealing all that's before us
the absurdity cannot be denied by me yet still I believe

stop! become aware from yesterday to today transformational!

here I am right now every second, minute, hour... seeking the way true
I am of the earth so says god, so say the stars so shall I return
you and I, we fly a wake of one trails the sky our love burning by
hosanna on high 'tis to the risen we sing yea, to the risen
at the day's dark end when the shadows fell the sky what will be thy claim
if you could, would you would you forsake it all -- life to spread wings and fly
storm clouds beckon bold a winded fury stills all peace is found within
rejoice the clouds dark rejoice the pathways shadowed rejoice, yea rejoice
it's all there for us all we have to do is look just open our eyes
grant faith its freedom let truth receive its pardon let heresy live
