Understanding

Understanding comes from perspective
Our knowledge comes from the past
We learn as we live for the future
The memories may never last

A dream can become a nightmare
The angel may become the demon
A rainbow comes after the storm
Your message heard, your heart's greeting

A clock may be struck between realms
Your journey may come to a stop
A kingdom may fall into despair
One seer may show you a lot

In a story, there is one beginning
In the middle, there is your inner conflict
At the end, a resolution is made
A party is thrown, sweet wine from the goblet

Our history tells us our mistakes
Our words will give one direction
One's truth may not be the same
Our eyes, we strive for perfection

A writer gets lost in his head
A painter gets lost in his work
The photographer takes wonderful pictures
A doctor heals those who are hurt

Each life brings a piece to the puzzle
Each thought brings out our own uniqueness
Your home brings out who you are
Your shadow will show your true weakness

The mystery is what I love the most
What we don't really understand at all
Our togetherness of ideas for creation
The ones who stand and form a wall

There is destruction and pain all around
One's hope is hard to find
One's belief is hard to hold onto
The many hardships befallen mankind

We explore space and the ocean unknown
We sleep with dreams and ideas of what's true
A teardrop will fall from the heavens
The toughest times we've all been through

The razor's edge that breaks down a soldier
A falling leaf that gives life to a season
Your heart is the truest form of love
One man will search, his ultimate reason
