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
