Upon This Earth We Pray.

sat upon our thrones overlooking our mistakes gone by
resounding moments, clinging to life, learning what we can
Centuries passed are built so that beautiful things are shown
when a time reaches out and we can laugh the tick tocks away
filling every hour with all the dreams we discovered inside of us
some sentiments say that a memory fixed a rule that day
perfected it with peace, a word that is always hard to find
compliments have passed, not that our tears are filled anyway
with a meaning towards individuality and growing without fears
words are silenced when a touching resemblance of love appears
metaphors filled with delight whilst showing off some poetry skills
we danced along the distances between the stars last night
when we spoke about our children upon this Earth we pray
deep somewhere, created in a bright mindful visionary way
making marks along our steps and someday we will meet again
when we keep finding stories that were never meant to die
showing off existence is a marvelous thought captured forever
unforgiving with a relentless steaming pot of brand new ideas
that lifts a spirit longing to be expressed and dearly cherished
falling life has the opportunity to kneel and raise back up again
another chance beckons when the mountains shine their danger
to climb higher and see more clearly when we want to see you
and in our lives there comes an end when all the memories flood
then in our hearts, we learned to love without saying unconditionally
showing in kindness, and from the inside of us, was born a legacy.
