They said this was the end,
That no good was left.
The world would not burn,
Because nothing would rise
From the ashes.
They told us,"So the world will be silenced."
By the very substance
That allowed us life.
For they believed 40 days of constriction, demolition
Would purge this God forsaken soil.
But we did not believe
God had abandoned our souls.
He just lost faith.
We did not.
So we built an ark.
Maybe we were not a Phoenix,
But we created something
Much stronger than the ashes of Earth.
We would not be silenced.

And that is when we saw the dove.
Which did not grace us
With valor of the Phoenix
But with its blessing of peace,
Purification
And we knew we were saved

A crystalline tree
Bountiful jewels; they are proud
But what use are they?

If
your eyes
catch the sunrise in the mist,

If
your hands
hold the moonlight in the dark,

If
your legs
walk on the holy stones in the temple,

If
your mouth
opens to speak water in the lake,

Remember
you are beautiful
among the people on the earth.

Phrase: I want to live,
Phrase of ingenuity.
Crave self destruction

A wise man once told me,
"Son, a million dollars is worth
a million dollars. "
That was the last time I saw him.
It has been six years and
I still can seem to find enough money,
to make him proud.

Once I saw lightning strike a field.
It was magnificent.
I could have sworn the Earth stopped.
It didn't.
Life never stops.

Do you want to know a secret?
The wise man was a fool and
life does end.
Shocking revelations from the fool's student.

When does the student,
become the teacher?
When the fool becomes intelligent
the world will know peace
or
burn.

A wise man once told me,
"Son,
live your hours day by day."

I still hold on to the knowledge and
live my life day by hour.
