for those who are willing
there is a way for the determined
at the heart of the matter is a directive
where does your purpose lie?
do you know your reason for waking up?
what motivates you to push forward?
we are dedicated to the cause
we are not finite, we are infinite
we exist apart from land and sky
we climb above the ethos
into the essence of eternity
floating above reality
on the foot-steps of forever
underneath unsettled sky
living on a memory
that dwells in seaweed rocked tides
a stranger in the night of day
passing by familiar scenes
making nothing beyond a sweet whisper
among the autumn leaves
sapphire red moss that grew green
vigor pays homage to death by decay
cycle of life they say
a price that every living thing must pay
youth feels like immorality
till time slips away
we climb above the ethos
into the essence of eternity
floating above reality
on the foot-steps of forever
underneath unsettled sky
living on a memory
that dwells in seaweed rocked tides
