This is my holistic moment
A cathedral of trees
Shafts of sunlight splaying
Down through canopy of leaves
Dry dusty earth
Paths that lead off everywhere
Some days I walk with purpose
Most days I just don't care
And all my lies for freedom
Don't have to say it's wrong
I hear the trilling sounds
Through twilight's duration
There're quiet songs of ease
And songs that cry in desperation
A unison of feathers
Seeking shelter for the night
Chevron shapes up high
Geese in from long haul flights
And all the guilt I work with
Making up for what has gone
And all the guilt I work with
Making up for what has gone
This is my holistic moment
Below the grey stone rise
Wish I could roll like mist
Up the mountain side
Keep giving myself these challenges
And times of steep inclines
Some days they work out easy
Most days I fail the climb
And all my lies for freedom
Don't have to say it's wrong
This is my holistic moment
This is my holistic moment
This is my holistic moment
This is my holistic moment
