Rising
Rising
Soft beneath the skin
The solid edge it mentors
The souls that lies within
Her carried weight looks heavy
Though thin and weak she grows
Inside the tunnels long and dark
From fingers to her toes
And still you see her rising
Often lost along the way
She leads through storms and glowing suns
Through white clouds and the gray
While all along you question
Precarious as it seems
She makes it through the ups and downs
That lead to lakes and streams
And as she bathes she listens
To songs that from her past
Prepares her for the future
Moments calm and sure to last
Her solid wisdom rises
And meets the strength inside
For now she's entered golden fields
With nothing left to hide
