Broken Boat

Folder: 
2007

Sun went down today like a broken boat

Sinking into the earth like a lead anchor

Letting go of its' soul

Releasing the moon into the cold

Resting from it's labor of hope

Of releasing hope into a world too afraid to feel the warmth

Of unwarpped truth and unadulterated love



And, on the trail of forested lies

Lies the very reason we're afraid of ourselves

And, in this trial we're stuck inside

We find little reason in what wisdom reveals

And, on this very day

And, by our secret intentions

We unintentionally effect how our children will love each other



Our lies have clouded out Heaven

And, we can't outrun the rain

That those clouds are shedding

And, we can't outrun the pain

That our lies have been making

No, we can't outrun the shame

That our quaking knees are so obviously yelling



And, now the sun is rising

And, She is as compassionate as She's ever been

Drying the tears we're all crying

Before the deluge overtakes us and we drown within

The oceans of lies that have become us
