I have long been fashioning An inner world of obstacles Between thee and me Shuttered huts of discouragement Barbed wire fences of habit Stone walls of indifference Mountains of indolence And oceans of unfaithfulness
I'll plant a seed beneath my feet Someday And breathe into it energy Someday I'll firm its' soil with a dance And pray the sky will shine its' lamp I'll water it with heartfelt love and Someday, I'll awake...
I'll pack a bag beneath the stars When someday comes And grip it when the missiles charge When someday comes I'll tend to it with utmost care And open it when I can share A slavery to its' perfection Someday, I'll awake...
I'll cry because I have the faith That man can change his ugly ways I'll throwaway the bag and seed For no one owns what we all need I'll begin, without, within Searching, seeking, seeing Endless endeavors
