More to life

 
There is more to life then what is at first sight

We first met when i was 12
In an enchanting building
I first visited you
I drifted to sleep during soothing chants
I walked towards you to shake your hand
Up the hill and under that great tree
The aura was peach
And i awoke from my sleep

Our next encounter i was 21
Still so young
But inside so wise
Homeless
In the community shelter
The sky was green
The wind was calm
You took hold of my palm
And we left the scene
Off the top of a building
We flew over my city
The mountains were so pretty
A feeling so fulfilling
I awoke to a new reality
A different perspective
My life had hope again
A dream so reflective
Reminding of my inner strength
I cope again old friend
Through all my pain
Through all my happiness
Through all i gain
Through all my madness
You are always watching
You are always guiding
You are always there
Reminding me of what is right
Even if its fight
Sometimes we have to be firm
Against the animals that walk upright
Eventually we all learn

There is more to life then whats at first sight
