'The Life of A Flower'I started my life without strife,
A seed was me deep down inside.
Sheltered by the rock and dirt,
And blind to all that I could not perceive.
My heart was full of simplistic wonder -
Of love and dreams and places I'd never seen.

But I blinked once and I blinked twice.
Suddenly I realized how cruel this world was to me.
"How did I never see?" was my questioning.
Innocence knocked loose, an upward struggle grabbing tree roots.
I heaved upward, unhappy with my life.
I broke earth's surface and saw the light
And I found myself a new form of love;
Heavy yet full of wonder still.

I sat beneath a great tree and looked ahead.
Aroused
monsters on the darknessi'm afraid,
i'm afraid to stay alone in the darkness.
but more i'm afraid to light up the light and to see all the monsters beside me
Where the Children GoI know the place where children go
when they seek a place to hide.
Nighttime awakens die hard fears
but during the day they swallow the sun
and open their closet doors.
Inside they find
clarity.

I know the place where children go
when they seek a place to hide.
Each child, they carry a key
a key of brass and copper and gold
a key of clouds and wings and bold
lion gods and butterfly odds
They grasp to their nightgowns and trousers
whatever it be
and open their closet doors.
Inside they find
prosperity.

I know the place where children go
when they seek a place to hide.
A call sounds 'round and summons them all
to their closet door gates, each
not in the momentI've heard a lot of promises
I've heard a lot of lies
can't tell one from the other
they often wear disguise

truths aren't in the moment
the proof is that the stone
not wear away or tear away
once the moment is gone

Pascal's wager played it out
and I mustand be on my way
a lesson learned in brands that burned
at least for me, I say
