Akali

Hits the water with a ripple
Cutting like a blade
Dripping like a glimmer
Like a liquid flame
A mirror reflection
Gets turned by the waves
An upside down blur
Lost in the glades
And a glacial land
And a granite peak
A beach like sand
And a water that's clean
In a valley low
With the morning peaks
A shimmering light
That luminously leaks
A high pitch howl
With the current above
Creasing over the surface
And a cue by the dove
Through the evergreen
Swirl with the wind
As if they crying out
Looking for their kin
They stand so strong
And the roots grow deep
Carving around the rocks
Or bust it with ease
Living on the edge
And dying on a cliff
Hanging off the side
Like it permanently kids
And here's to the ripple
Cutting like a blade
Dripping with a glimmer
Like a liquid flame
A mirror reflection
Gets turned by the waves
An upside down blur
Lost in the glades
And a glacial land
And a granite peak
A beach like sand
And a water that's clean
In a valley low
With the morning peaks
A shimmering light
That luminously leaks

A paddle pushes further
But the bow spears on
Slicing through the silver
Like an arrow headed swan
On the surface
And cutting like a knife
But this time in darkness
On a moon lit night
Guided by the stars
The future is told
Dancing in the wild
The adventure is bold
Voyage on
The explorer reposed
Comforted in
The place of the unknown
A magnet and a needle
To be guided on
Mapped the unseen
Just like a pawn
Thrown out first
Take two steps or one
Reporting back home
Giving recon
The paver of a path
Of a rugged up treky
Story out of life
Leaving a legacy
Baring the eyes
Of the first witness
Adventure in sight
That knows no wicked

The water rushes on
Here it all unfolds
Down the raging rapids
And the splashes are cold
Freezing like the ice
That hangs from the sickle
Mountain water gushes
Impaled by the spindle
Spiked with a pick
And tethered off higher
Their racing on
To climb higher and higher
And get to the peak
And find what they seek
Can't turn back now
Even though it's looking bleak
At the climax
And at the pinnacle
The power they feel
Is truly irresstable
An accomplishment
And a pretty big feet
The pioneers journey
Is finally complete
Gotta back track now
And head on home
Another life to live
And there's stories to be told
A piece of them
Is forever changes
Grown in spirit
Having more to their name
It's water with a ripple
Cutting like a blade
Dripping with a glimmer
Like a liquid flame
A mirror reflection
Gets turned by the waves
An upside down blur
Lost in the glades
A glacial land
And a granite peak
A beach like sand
And a water that's clean
In a valley low
With the morning peaks
A shimmering light
That luminously leaks
