I am reaching beyond myself
bending not in crashing waves
breaking away from old beliefs
finding enlightenment's embrace



Copywrite 2001 Maria G. Abernathey
I am reaching beyond myself
searching for heaven's gate
knowing that there's an answer
waiting for an end to hate
I am reaching beyond myself
seeking less traveled roads
peering into the future
wondering what it holds
I am reaching beyond myself
struggling against the tides
holding fast in my efforts
living on borrowed time
