My second life
By the river is where I decide if I should leave sooner
Or if later would make it better
But the birds sing to me
That life can't force me to see,
That scars won't shape up who I'll be.
So, into the woods, deeper I walk
And nothing will ever make me stop,
to wonder or talk
to count the stories the trees tell
The time the dew fell
And say the place in which I dwell.
Further in, I lose myself
Drowning in the moving dephts of nature
Where there is no pressure
No gravity what-so-ever
To tell me what to do
And say that my tears aren't true
On the edge of my journey
I take one second out
To make a quick note to myself
Because, around, there's no one else
To remind me
Of what used to be
Of what I came to see
By the river I sit,
On the holy grass I sit
My eyes explore the virginal garden
Where my life was taken and given
For, though I never died
I slowly but surely ressurected
From the place where I was convicted
But the river is where I shall be saved
