I stand within reflections of stark reality
I look into the future and hope that I am free
I walk out of the forest and breath in fresh cool air
To gaze upon the ripples to see that I am there.
I've climbed the highest mountains, to look into this lake
Within these cool clear waters, a second chance I take
I stir them with my fingers, then cup them in my hand
I take them to the shoreline and drip them on the sand.
Each drop a single moment, I've waited for so long
The body soaking moisture, at last I can belong
Surrounded by such beauty, I kneel and raise my head
Re-born within this moment, my snake skin I have shed.
