[ Chapters ]

I am a person

With no need of confrontations

While you are a person

Who literally creates them

Now it doesn’t take much

To foresee the situation

Where one subtracting one

Is not a healthy equation

And yet, in my life

My eyes just couldn’t see it

Stars in the sky with love

Held every wrong to be remit

Now standing here, alone

I see how the path was split

But I just cannot help to feel

That it was all worth it

As I take a step back

And look at the whole picture

What is a decade of loss

When there’s so much more that flickers

See I was just a boy

Turned to a man of wicker

And sure you lit the flame

But this pain won’t be the victor

Rising from the ashes

A new creation, birthed

And if there’s one thing that I know

It’s that love holds its worth

Awaken every morning

A heartbeat within the earth

For life never truly ceases

As there’s always more to search

Life is like a novel

And this is just another chapter

Just another turning page

To keep you in capture

Where things can go so well

Straight into disaster

And bring you smack-dab back to joy

Like sheep within a pasture

Talk about a rapture

What can I expect

I once was there and back again

With no time to regret

Knowing joy and sorrow

These things I won’t forget

And if I even had the choice

They still wouldn’t be reset

Because this is my life

Good to the last drop

Always unwinding

And it’s never gonna stop

Just learning as I go

All the things that I’ll adopt

Moments, an experience

That bring me to the top

Standing at the pinnacle

A precipice before me

All senses sent to gravitate

Indwelling in this glory

Life, a thing mysterious

Both calloused and adoring

Continuing eternity

Like chapters in a story
