As I live, br I take the steps unsteady br Then as I learn to run br Unawares, I stumble br I fall br And as I learn to jump br The obstacle, I smile br I hop, I jump br I fly, I soar like eagles br High in the sky br And feel br The fresh breeze of freedom br That the enlightenment brings. br br As I live, br I see, br That which craves to continue br Ceases br Silence breaks, peace ceases br Day breaks the continuity of the night br Death breaks the string of life br But their cycle, infinate. br br As I live, br I surf the highs of the peaks br And the lows of the troughs br From the trough to the peaks br I hold on to all that is good br With a tight rope of hope. br br As I live, br Some light I reflect br I shine br For with perseverance br I painted the mercury br On my back br Some light, though faint br Glows from my soul br That I protect br With the delicate chandeliers br Of my being. br br As I live br Rules restrict, laws imprison br And hate invades br But the heart, impervious to them br As I live br The calculations br The dead practicality br Froths on the surface br But never finds the pearls br At the depth br br As I live br Some sounds high pitched br Never reach where they should br And some words unspoken br Seep like aromas br And fill me all over br br As I live br I listen to my heartbeats br And search and yearn br To reach out br To the heart br That pulsates with mine.
