The Flood

We are not permitted to choose
The framework of our destiny
But what I choose to put inside
Is truly up to me

What we have in this life
Sustains us certainly
But it’s what we do not have
That determines who we will be

I could be a star
I could be the earth
I could be a flood
I could be at one
I could be a hurricane
I could be a wall
I could be everything
Or nothing at all

This moment contains all moments
In transition from rise to set
The only thing that ever matters
Is the everlasting present

Give all your love, hate and will
Unbroken, impenetrable
A vessel of untold emotion
Sustained within our soul

I could be a star
I could be the earth
I could be a flood
I could be at one
I could be a hurricane
I could be a wall
I could be everything
Or nothing at all
