Wrestle the Sun
The most skilled of cashiers
Couldn’t make change of this noise
For some quiet.
I’d wrestle the sun
To keep the night from coming
With its sinister grin
And loud taunts
That daylight may never return.
These thoughts drowned out
With songs sung in every tongue
Of good hope and love.
If your belief
Grants no reprieve
From the devil on your sleeve
Your anchor set in ground
That avoids its touch.
Leave now!
Run fast!
Take your coat
And a boat
And row right out to sea!
Rivers flow to oceans
And oceans feel the union
Deep inside themselves.
This is the answer
The remedy from cancer,
All roads don’t lead home
But all homes do have a road
Leading to them.
If you’re found with a heart
Eager for sanctuary
Having fainted exhausted in the ditch
It’s still better than having never set out.
The guide may come correct
Misguided steps but beginning is a must.
You are worth your weight in gold
Let timid souls grow bold.
– Vagabond Prophet
