The Sacrifice -

I clear my eyes I see blurred skies

Sometimes I feel, most days I’m numb

Somewhere, someday I’ll face the sea with full hands

Rain will form mud, mud will form swamps,

My feet will bleed with thorns I tread the masters will think I’m trapped

I can’t decide

I can’t reach out

They claim one sacrifice

Will they hear me?

The rain

Night fell, I’m hurt

Stars lead my way

Cool breeze on my face

Waves crash on my chest

Morning light revealed my footprints on the sand

As I recede from my vain life into myself

Hear me calling the names of those who brought me out here in doubt and pain

I can’t decide

I can’t feel now

I can’t reach out

I can’t hear now

I can’t see now

They claim one sacrifice

Will they hear me?

The rain
