Collect

There is a war within myself
A war between heart and mind

Where I fall away from the soul that is in me
Look back
Erase the past
Move away from all the thinking
That causes stumbling in the sand that pretends it understands

There is a hope within my grasp
The soul that reaches deep within me

I cannot walk away from the light

But the light I see in you is not for me to catch

The light within myself to put to rest

I hold onto the hope that rises up within me.

The peace I need

To which I cling so that I can contain

These things within my heart that my mind rejects

The war within myself I can expect

To fail loudly as myself I do collect.
