How does an old soul express oneself? Pass down to others their experiences and heartaches As well as the conquering of all tribulations In what manner shall I share my lifes ventures? For I have climbed the highest mountain of emotions To topple aimlessly to the cold barren ground below Time, and time again However, my spirit holds no space for bitterness I have stood at the summit of the valley of Hopes and illusions, my trenchant sword Of truth, poised in hand to battle the vile Faces that glimmer with manipulation And their blade pierces of deception Yet being the victorious, I walk away ever so humble How shall I be remembered? I have spit in the face of conformity And bathed in the essence of rebelliousness For me and persecution are no distant strangers At a vulnerable time in life, images of happiness Were clung to in desperation However, the swift smack of reality across the cheek Still burns my face to this day A mighty cougar once showed me many appeasing sights And said decide unto yourself what is purely evil A silken white swan appeared through the flames And she endowed upon me many visions Saying allow your own spirit to interpret What is truly wholesome and good Outside these dual forces spiral about Inside the silence of the soul It shall be known which is true and what is false After the persona of this life has turned To ashes and to dust, gaze into the liberation Of the vast expanse of the sky, feel the wind stir And listen to me whisper inspiration through the Soothing calm flow of the breeze, for I have said before When the reaper comes knocking, it is to the sky I will Remain in eternal union with How shall I be remembered? At times the phrase nobody knows me Has been branded upon my conscience, Possessing the golden chest of knowledge From experience has taught me how to cope How may these things be told With the finest present of all Requiring no price tag, it is the offering Of my words for they are truly the best Gift that I have to offer
