"I Can Move Mountains"
For I Can See
Where the horizons began
An invitingly beautiful crescendo to a glowing sunset
The Golden Ticket
A blazing trail leading to sunset
An Invitation to the Winner’s Circle
The Pinnacle
Opening my eyes to unimaginable landscapes
A privilege to enjoy
Granted to those Who Know Patience
An Understanding that a Beginning has no End
Always mountains to climb
Neverending
A coup d'etat
The Desecration of the Messenger from Above
Giving birth to a the Ultimate Sacrifice
A Divine Intervention
The King of Calvary
Leaving it ALL on the Battlefield
For me
The Sacrificial Lamb
The Savior
A Waymaker
From the past, to the present, to the future
I am the Seed
Roooted from Eden to Armageddon
Descending from a rotten Fruit
Cursed
Yet, Each day when theSon rises
I am made NEW
The wind blows
Although no energy is present
Lifting my sails
For As He Rises
So, I Rise
Spreading the Seed
Eternally
Surviving from His Last Breath
Blessing my Ascension
Because of Him
I'm a Heiress
To Eternity
Yet at a price
Watch me,
Sprout
Reaching for the Son
Who Illuminates my path
