I'm a living legacy to a life I've chose to fulfill in my own way 

In words heard by few 
Actions unrecognized by most 
A love for humanity running so deep it drowns in the ocean

ln plain sight, I am blind 
A clarity in the darkness of the soul where all I see is color 
It's hard to translate to the narrow masses the true connection to everything and the realization of nothing 

It's in the comedy, we find tragedy 
The helplessness we find in the pathway of hope 
The silence we find in the soundtrack of our lives 
The sense and sensibility of the unexplained miracles 
The love of positivity in the madness of hatred 

Everything is now realized 

It took a homeless journey to find a sense of home 
A metaphorical journey by land, sea and air 

Under the stars of one sky; one world; one purpose 

It was in the running, I found stability 
A place to call my own, but open to all 

This is the truth that was always there 
Always within me 

An undeveloped negative with all the answers 

Black and white 
Inverted 
So clear 
In that darkroom, I found the light

Now, everything is realized 
All is clear 
Today begins
