Silent Prayer

Drowning dreams before my feet
If I wake up falling before I die

Clever composition. It holds such an intense beauty and instruction. A prayer to endow the mind and heart to strive on and not to be tangled by defeat. Not to allow one's own mortality to cause fear of vulnerability. Truly Impressive friend.
