Thought Streams from The River of Life

Know the King

To know the unknown,

Takes a lot of time alone.

A life prone to being thrown,

Into places your shown.

Harnessing the fear you own,

Into a power unknown.

It has become over grown,

Spilling out over the throne.

I was never alone,

This power is not my own.

I lease it from home,

A spiritual loan.

If only you had known,

You could be shown,

Your crown and throne.

Life is yours alone,

Your decisions to own.

We are not alone,

We are warriors of the unknown.

Growing above our fears,

The future couldn't be more clear.

It's already here,

And this is my throne.

I AM the King of Eden,

Kicking and screaming,

Defeating my inner demon.

It's time to take control,

This is my home.

I'm using my crown,

Climbing to my throne.
