Nature
Through the corridors of time my image passes
Like a galleon upon a raging sea
I am blinded in the night as lightening flashes
I am thrown into a dark infinity
Still I feel the hands of destiny and gain
Holding me as I was held when I was born
And I know that I will love my new domain
Ending memories of all the first world's storms
Through the hallways I travel
Like a blind man searching for a hidden dream
I am looking for a way I can unravel
All the mysteries and problems I have been
By the lights of truth and honesty I wander
Seeing everything I tried so hard to fain
By the lights of hope and faith I do not ponder
I am satisfied by what I am today
I was never good or bad but always human
And I never boasted over things I made
And I never did believe god is a woman
'til she gave me all the love for which I prayed
