Nature’s Reserves

I found all of nature's wildest reserves
Inside the self that simply observes
And it's not a mute kind of understanding
Or a play of will to be ever demanding
It is a giving way
To what is the order of the day
And I write these words
And they are heard
In the grand abyss
Who thought forever could begin with a kiss
Coz I always had my faith in Jesus, my staunchest ally
Next thing you know I'm in the valley
Screaming out; why is there death
Why is every face something we must forget
When the blinding light struck me from on high
And I realised that to die
Is not what I'd been thinking it was
And that no life is stuck on pause
Forever, there comes a time when the tape winds out
In the mists of love pressed to my mouth
Like some forgiven scourge
Suddenly heard the birds
For the first time
Now he makes me rhyme
With his soul
That pours into mine as the waves roll
