My Legacy Of Life

I chose to take the hand of my destiny and run a thousand miles
I was sure my shadow of her would always stay
For I was lucky enough to witness that ever gentle light
My legacy of living was just one deep breath away...

Still I chose to take the sun as my very best friend
For her and the sun would highlight my journey along
My legacy of loving was beyond any words I could find
I loved her to the rhythm of the most angelic like song...

Still I chose to dare the nights to fall hard upon me
For the challenge to find her the more weak I became
I was smothered in words I thought she'd never turn her back on
The legacy of lies from her lips left me never the same...

Still I chose to keep looking and found but empty land
Still I chose to hold onto the only home I've known
The legacy of leaving me found a new route to my heart
For I run, I still do, just mostly alone...

Still I chose for the moon to frown and myself to drown
In the memories saved for sanity here in my mind
It's the legacy of losing her to that familiar wind
That I can't live without dying so many times...

Now, I choose for the later to be just a morning away
And, I will have what is righteously mine at last
For the winds will change again and when they surely do
I have a one way ticket to heaven this time and I'm not coming back...

Sauni :)
Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

come back. . . and find that you've made the right choices. . .
