Analysis of Being; Supple (Pantoum)
Dark forges in, and I have no fear.
I must take myself to places unknown.
I’m following dreams wherever they go,
Diving in at the end of a l o n g
pier.
In the palm of my hand I want to show, that
dark forges in, and I have no fear.
The crystal ball is becoming clearer,
I’m following dreams wherever they go.
My life is my boat to steer
in the palm of my hand. I want to show that
the more I see, the more I know.
The crystal ball is becoming clearer.
The clearer it becomes, the brighter it glows.
My life is my boat to steer
into the unknown, with no fear, because
the more I see,
t h e m o r e I k n o w.
