I've been set adrift for such a long time.
Sometimes I weather the storm, other times I merely float.

Slip down, into the deep, dark sea.
Turn upward, sky blue heaven.

Beyond survival, I choose.
He warms my face in comfort and fills me with trust.

And then there is no place else I'd rather be.

Barren land, no one. How well you have adapted.
You find the vessel he left you, empty and coated with mud.
You throw it in the pile, it cracks as easily as the others.

Wandering, wondering, waiting. Warm breeze renews you.
This seemingly hostile land becomes comfortable and right.
You have nothing and everything at the same time. Your Trust provides all your needs.

Warm wind swirls by, alone in the barren land.
Looking around, it's all gone, nothing left. Only me here.
Then I see, it was just me the whole time.
A breeze wraps around me, the land goes forever.
Heat as warm as blood, soaks in.
Words pour out like water, which I can afford to spill.
I go into town to take care of things, but this is where I LIVE.

No More Waiting in the Shadows

Run, it follows. Move faster, it nears.

You turn to face your biggest fear.

Fierce, hissing and spitting. You watch, stunned to know that it was in you all the time.

It writhers and screams, pathetic moans.

You're not scared anymore, now that you can see it. Crying for it's life, it doesn't want to die.

The sword in your hand, you prepare to inflict the lethal blow.

You won't miss all the pain and destruction.
