With the grace of a corpse,

In a riptide,

Instead of thrashing, gasping, grasping at anything to survive,

I let go

And I find,

I slide

Down a river

Not in fear,

Everything moves,

No might can fight,

Nature can never lose

As I float through the valleys

Made by the monstrous mountains,

I’m carried by a peaceful mind

Until the river dries

I never realized

Death is what is meant

To make it on your own

Because there is no rose

Where there are no thorns

Because there are no peaks

Where there are no bleak creeks

And there is no love

On the one true path

Because you are all that you have,

Understanding starts,

When you trust your tracks

And I’ve crawled and clawed to get lost,

But now embracing my cracks

I’m galloping back

There is no one moment of truth,

Down in the valley

Darkness provides clarity,

That existence itself is polarity

A fact you can’t fight,

Embrace the darkness of night

Nature will always be right

Each day is known

When the sun puts on a show

So I strive

To live like the sun

Because the warmth and the bright,

Always comes

Through every cloud

Over any heights

After any storm,

The dawn always brings light

And the sun does not harp

On the past

As a new day has begun

Yesterday is set and done

And although all the pain,

From previous eons, seconds, days,

Still remains

The sun still shines

And if it does,

So do I
