A thousand miles
By Talmer Watts and Jean Flournoy
A thousand miles long
A thousand miles deep
You'll find the valley of my soul
Where my heart doth sow and reap
Shiny, black, coiled and cold
Tilled with a million spiders
In silence, in sacrifice, I was told
They weave a web so big, so strong, so bold.
Spiraling up then spiraling back down
On an axis of pain their anger well trained
They shatter hearts and leave broken destinies
Taken forcefully, now laying languidl, fears exposed.
Faith weighs heavy, much trouble, and much woe
Help moves like quicksand, your broken body in tow
Behind your mask splits a violent vertical scream
Creating dark voids upon your fleeing shadow it seems.
A thousand miles long, a thousand miles wide
You will find the labyrinth hidden deep inside
It is a place with no known path, no map or guide
Fading all remaining evidence of the illusion you once had.
A secret treasure of opportunity for you
When you rid your present beliefs,
Make straight a new runway....
..... your soul set free to fly.
Beyond definition...........
Tell me, what do you see?
