The Other side of things

I didn’t expect
To have tears
Wide as the ocean

Suffering a course
Set forth
To the other side

Didn’t expect
To see the unseen
With defying keen
Eyes of the
Hidden heart

Didn’t expect
To mount up
With eagle’s
Wings

Soaring
On another’s
Strength
Above the earthly
Things

To be a lily
In the valley
Of the shadow of
Death

Exposed to
The elements
Of life’s savage breath

Didn’t expect
To have roots
Sunk reaching
Deep drilling
Unto the depths
Of Earth’s core

Strengthening
My stand
Within the evil
Day

Sword drawn
Standing
On the other side
Hoping for something
More

Than what this life
Has to offer
