As I stand firmly on the edge of the abyss
Knowing full well it has come down to this
Take a step forward, over the line
Falling forever into the recesses of time

And yet as I fall, hurtling through space,
I see threads past and present fall into place.
Wings slowly emerge as I shift focus again
And follow the threads through worlds unending

Passing by stars like a bird in mid flight
As imagination and I with strange worlds collide
Bringing to tip the entire galaxies scale
Stripping all of it bare as I pull back the veil

And yet further it expands, limitless, unbound.
Edging just from my grasp and falling around
My body, just a slip of flesh
Curled in ephemeral folds of a space time mesh

Just as quickly as it started I am back in a flash
Standing where I once stood on the abyss's edge
With the flexing of muscle and the spreading of wings
I fall into face forward to do it all over again

I can call you candy.
I can call you sugar.
If anything is sweeter than you.
Know this, I hadn't found it.

If anything is more delightful.
Or more exciting.
Believe this.
I hadn't found it.

You have a favor that's pleasing to the senses.
Something that's attracted to my mind, soul and body.
A personality that's shines.

So anything better upon this earth.
I hadn't found it.

I know I'm not enough.
I promise, I know. So please,
I'm begging you,
stop reminding me.
I promise, I never forget.
But sometimes I get tired of
being sad, being upset.
I start to hold myself higher,
I let myself get past that roadblock.
But then you drop it suddenly atop me,
and I'm left further down the track than
I ever was before.
I know I'm not enough.
How many times will you remind me?

Stand firm.
Stay true
When you say Merry Christmas and offenders wants to hit you with lawsuits.

Other religious wants to celebrate theirs.
As if you must adjust yours.

Long before others started to cry and complain.
Saying Merry Christmas ranks close to saying Happy Birthday.

Stand your ground.
Stand behind your voice.
If they can celebrate theirs.
Then you can celebrate yours.

Say, Merry Christmas, but don't forsake this season's more about the Lord.
