Rightfully so, You can let go
Of the tight grip twisting and turning in Your soul
But oh, wait, can You feel the subtle taste of love?
If not, I can raise the bar, it’s been dragging in the mud
Suddenly I realize too far, living at large
I board the barge with my camouflage
Restless waters await, I want to keep my little boy safe
I hesitate and step forward, almost standing still the pace
Of which I’ve taken, or is it?
Is it so fast I’ve mistaken it as stagnant?
Am I moving gradually? With an ponderous undertone to boot?
I hope so, I want to have faith but I just don’t know
This has been a long road
Now I must sleep and reap the rewards from my dreams
Peacefully
