The dragon of death and dying

Has been released in the world of the living

Can you not feel it's hot breath

Upon your backside

As you struggle to get away

Maybe it is time to turn

And face your shadow

That which dogs your every step

Taking the sword of truth

You step up and take your stand

From the center of your "I am" self

Of your ship you take command

Just as it is about

To take a perilous dip

Somehow you just know what to do

Despite the war god's whip

Even though you don't remember

Being here before

Just like your fingers never forget

The chords on your guitar

You know how to shine

Like the star you really are

My gut aches aches and reels

As the collective shadow grows large

I wish I didn't already know

How the future looks and feels

As death gleefully grins

And the eagle of our fate

Gets ready to descend

The only way out of this

Is to finally make amends

Out of the abyss of hate and fear

You choose the path of love

And you reach up and turn the light on

To see what has been hiding there

All along

And now

Your shadows

Run

Outstanding!

LOVE
