7 – El Shaddai (Mongoose)

 How aware (are you|you are) 
 Of our story told so far (?|!) 
 I Am looking down below 
 From atop this divine plateau 
 I see us walking toward the sun 
 I see us two becoming one 
 Surely that cannot be us, for 
 We only just unlocked the door 
 I asked the king's grandmother, Ruth 
 She assured - indeed I saw The Truth 

 I Am lounging - one long last look 
 Then coming down to bound my book 
 I Am returning from my peæk - I see 
 You notice the gift left by me 
 I Am painting my mural of Her 
 As best I can from a quiet whisper 
 You may forget the words §he said 
 But Her voice is safe inside your head 
 Remember to listen for Her when 
 You inevitably forget the Truth again 

 Trust your self when you can't see 
 Your feet remember where to be 
 I know it's scary walking blind 
 So trust the sight within your mind  
 Trip or fall - you'll make it through 
 Because I Am here to catch you 
 Keep moving whether day or dark 
 Because I Am here to lend a spark 
 Open those eyes that lost their light 
 Because I Am here to heal your sight 

 Do not trick your self in two 
 Thinking that you're more than you 
 Just because you've memorized 
 Another straight line summarized 
 Life may be a circle, yet 
 You are a sphere, let 
 Your self roll wild and free 
 Don't just race from point A to B 
 There's so much more of you to mention 
 Than just that boring 1 dimension

I Am lounging, longingly look 
Before I B bound in Bö's book 
I Am returning from peæks & C

Watercolors of quiet Whispers 
& if You forget §üm~Words §he 
Said, Her Violet~Voice safely 
Inside your head - REMember 2

A Circle, yet You're a §phere 
Let yourself roll wild & free 
Don't have to race from point 
A to B, 4 there B, oh~so much 
More from You to mention than 
Simple societies' 1 dimension
