Alone I walk beneath the burning rays, I wait for rain that never seems to fall. Relief of shade has never met my gaze; I wonder if I'll find it after all. Where winds would blow, now silence fills the air. I'm seeking life within this endless maze. Mirage of hope is what I truly fear; I yearn to quench this thirst I've known for days. A cloud above has overcome the sun, I feel the grace fall down on me like rain. A tree stands still beside a river's run, Even hell has beauty that it contains. Nor shell nor thorn can stop the flowers bloom, Through fate, I shall find my home again soon.

A Path to Healing
Alone I walk beneath the burning rays, I wait for rain that never seems to fall. Relief of shade has never met my gaze; I wonder if I'll find it after all. Where winds would blow, now silence fills the air. I'm seeking life within this endless maze. Mirage of hope is what I truly fear; I yearn to quench this thirst I've known for days. A cloud above has overcome the sun, I feel the grace fall down on me like rain. A tree stands still beside a river's run, Even hell has beauty that it contains. Nor shell nor thorn can stop the flowers bloom, Through fate, I shall find my home again soon.
