Up on the mountain I can see so clear

But in the valley that vision starts to fade

Though I don't see clear I believe you're near

And you're leading me on the way

So I'm pressing forward

I'm moving onward

My falls just let me rise

This heavy burden

It comes to nothing

When I lift up my eyes

So I hold on hope cause it's all that holds

As the riptide takes the sand

The Atlantic sound

Echoes all around

These airways oceans and the land

Let your heart hold fast

Because night can't last

These words still are strengthening my soul

But a vibrant spark and a shooting star

Lets me let me go

Don't let the stops stop you

Press on through

The prize is near at hand

As the day breaks forth in light and dew

On solid ground we'll stand

So I'm pressing forward

I'm moving onward

My falls just let me rise

This heavy burden

It comes to nothing

When I lift up my eyes

Recently I published my first novel, The Burning Ones, a sword-and-sorcery-and-cyborg adventure balancing the youthful angst of a coming-of-age story with the realities of a world plagued by war.
