Somewhere in the tepid waters
and muted musings
of my despondent dreams
I caught a glimpse
of my mortality
and all it really means

We are each but a step away
from the yawning hunger
of the grave
The chains of this
inexplicable life
can make us all
feel like slaves

Hidden inner eyes
that we deny
search us deep
Then our inner voice
whispers truth
in our sleep

Awake now to open skies
as you come to realize
we don't need to live this way
There are answers we breathe
in our acceptance
of the peace of each day
