My candlelight flickers in the wind

there lies the truth within 

My canvas sits white

dreaming in my own state of mind

what’s good to start blending

to create a story with full meaning

It’s the journey to the awakening.

 

the sand is flowing down the hourglass

making time faster like lightning

there just so little that I want to bind

why do I still close my eyes.

the spirit that wonders inside of me

like a wildfire spreading rapidly

sirens that echo my surroundings 

mimic the sounds of my heartbeat

have I been lost without noticing 

what’s been happening?

 

deep in my mind I think of just paradise

the soothing sound an instrument makes

pulls me down far from today.

friends have stopped talking too me

caught up into there own trance of popularity 

all I have been doing is wondering

many life-lessons are shown to me 

like a preacher has told me repeatedly

started planning things strategically.

 

the journey to the awakening 

became something worth writing

long thoughts swelled my brain

causing it to burst like a 

broken bottle of champagne

it’s time to jump to reality 

not letting others get the best of me 

the summer rain hasn’t flushed down

the side of my face pushing myself

to be the best everyday.

 

the reminiscent colors that burst

in the sky forming a beautiful sunrise

as the stars give the elegance to the skies

heaven showed me it’s true beauty pushing

me to the journey of the awakening

hope and love means everything 

the strongest women in my family 

have showed me the true meaning

and it lives in the veins of my history.

it’s time to keep fighting and believing

 

voices in my head that are now left unsaid

sitting in my chest holds a lion-heart 

I’ll give every last piece of strength that’s worth it all, 

the devil tried pulling me in

making me feel worthless

but the lords words have became my

official piece to get me through everything

the scriptures mark my mind

making imprints of pure hieroglyphics.

 

sitting on my knees and praying

pleading for all of my sins and speak

my apologies, he’s breathe the grace

of love and prosperity into me like

the galaxies that lies in outer space

through the journey of the awakening

his relationship between him and I

will be everything

I’ll say this one hundred billion times

 

if the ocean is still in motion

I’ll keep going

If the trees are still causing breezes

I’ll keep believing

If the sun continues shining

I’ll keep fighting

If my failures keep happening

I’ll keep walking

If people tear me down

I’ll keep climbing

 

through the journey of awakening 

it starts with the marches within

with the worlds ancient spin

when the time comes

I’ll be ready to give everything

I’ve got.
