Victim of the Stage of Life - Out of Eden Iii

(Out of Eden III) Peace I have found, yet cannot keep hold As forever the desert winds blow cold My face has kissed the dust of Earth And all my life is one big mirth. Am I the actor? Pray tell: What is my role? I run and I skip, when walk I should walk I scream as I speak when talk I should talk The stage is bare so none applaud My only audience, are leaves that rot. Am I the prey? Pray tell; Where do I run? I stood on the Sun and my feet did not burn My outstretched hands, good spirits spurn I wanted to fly with these invisible wings Kept crashing to earth and everything stings. Am I the foe? Pray tell: To whom do I turn? My innocence is a plague, my sincerity a curse For where are my friends, when empty my purse? Is a dog a dog …when parrots can bark? I’ve seen fish walk, even fly in the dark! Am I the victim? Pray tell: How do I tell? But then I found God; The One, Almighty He Created the ‘He Art’; beats strong within me His Son my best friend, as saved me by deed Act: One, ‘Seen’: Three - Father, Son, and Spirit need. i am of the I Am Pray, ‘PRAY’! The Final Curtain: FAITH! The Fg 81.5.8 (1999)
