#shallowwaters
Standing by the shallow waters I stare Sun is shining but no shadow is visible The other side has something unknow But I feel too weak to sail my boat.. What I might find I am not aware The first push I give is crucial The Mast is broken,wind sail is torn As I felt a spear down my throat.. Cross these waters before the thunders But why am I afraid of them now? Let the wind sail the ship home Take me to the place unknown.. Random things at random times Is a symptom. We have to adapt Weak heart has an ego to be killed Mosaic minds have to be willed...

Shallow
Thought I was swimming in high levels of emotions Till I stood up to find it wasn't even knee high How deceptive the heart can be to throw such illusions Can't even trust it sometimes Even my own mind plays tricks on me Only when I stood still In the emotions I used to swim in was I able to let the truth in by letting it reflect back at me So shallow they were that I was able to see my own two feet Oh no, I guess it really wasn't that deep... The mud has settled and I can see myself again, shining, still with ravens in my eyes I guard my heart, balancing the light and the dark Trying not to tilt for too long on one side
