Rise And Fall

Michael Walters

Rise And Fall

If you hands could grasp the calling silence, feels like you could
ignore the truth turns to empty progress, raised smiles reframe
the oceans edge feels like contemplation, moves out and in
you hear the breeze talk of inbound winter, eyes change to gaze

you still hold an ocean trapped inside
It’s hiding where you can’t compromise
It’s been a million years it seems
so long it doesn’t really matter

outstretched hands forced with your belief, holds this sunset
remedy the only way you know how, practice prevails
can you harness this time repeating, your faith returns
a melody that’s always waiting, if you want it

and there’s nothing left to blame,
if the rain could take you away
would you rise or fall…If you could

you still hold an ocean trapped inside
it’s hiding where you can’t compromise
it’s been a million years it seems
so long it doesn’t really matter
