Water Rising

We must stay awake, we've come so far, we can't go back into that Slumber.

NO matter how deep the water Gets

I ain't goin' under, we ain't goin' Under

We are Here, as the sun Sets

We're not goin' back to that Slumber

We are standing here on the edge of Time 

No matter how crazy it all Gets

We will come through, we'll find our Rhyme

We will make it through, I'm takin' Bets

NO matter how deep the water Gets

I ain't goin' under, we ain't goin' Under

We are Here, as the sun Sets

We're not goin' back to that Slumber

When the skies are not shinning 

Only rain comin' down

No need for Whining

No need for that sad Frown

NO matter how deep the water Gets

I ain't goin' under, we ain't goin' Under

We are Here, as the sun Sets

We're not goin' back to that Slumber

We'll send a reach out to all our Friends

We won't let them fall into that Void

No matter how long until the Nightmare Ends

And all these snares we will learn to Avoid

NO matter how deep the water Gets

I ain't goin' under, we ain't goin' Under

We are Here, as the sun Sets

We're not goin' back to that Slumber

We Rise, Awake, looking out from Inside

No time to waste licking our Wounds

We Walk, Talk, and trust our Guide

With intention we are Consumed

NO matter how deep the water Gets

I ain't goin' under, we ain't goin' Under

We are Here, as the sun Sets

We're not goin' back to that Slumber

Nice! The water has gotten pretty deep for me. The last year the level has just gotten higher and higher. You are right though, just need to move forward. Can't allow it all to defeat you. Thanks for the poem

[Healing Star]

thanks, Stephen we need to remember to be thankful, even when it sometimes gets hard to see what those things are that we have, the most important is sometimes the hardest to see how very important it is to you. It's like how people on the islands don't snorkel and many people in the mountains don't ski, or where ever you are, so easy to take what's right there for granted. If we remember what we are thankful for it will help us to slide ahead, kind of like greasing the tracks.
