The time has come |
Silence |
It’s all in the power of thoughts The film of life, memories of the past Never-ending gift of possibilities Visions of untold hopes and dreams Episodes of purpose and resolution Genesis of thought, perceptions of spirit |
Upside down world served on a platter Black and white pictures hidden on pages Shoes slipped on the wrong two feet Climbing a mountain to reach the top Rivers flowing to higher energies Heart directing a symphony of nature Life in harmony with the world |
If I could run fast enough Leaving the realities of the world below Wings of aspirations soaring above clouds Galaxies only hearts and souls can discover I wish I would run fast enough |
Calliope whistles and Lonely, I stand Secret mysteries, Special purposes are Afraid of |
