The sound of my footsteps; a hoping guidance to faith My sound of breath teaches this blackness I’m alive in fate The echoes tell me the journey is deep and far from over My eyes, a drunken blind man, I feel far from sober Skin is dry and cold, a symptom of no light But though I’m driven by some divine force to fight In my mind I ponder, what will the world think if I fail? In my heart I wonder, how will it feel when I prevail? This task of greatness shakes my guts No choice now, I am no more men in huts I hear drops of past storms telling stories of Maverick The devil’s poetry, devious and mesmeric My damp shoes are cold feet, at times I miss Mother’s towel No more excuses, comfort zone of being fatherless
