Taken at Mercy College, NY

I look for it in the flowers
I look for it in the sunshine
A bitter feeling it is to not find
To go through the days
Wondering —
How it was I ever lost it
How did I let it slip away
Slither down every crevice
Capture every thought
And penetrate the soul

Where were you?
I called for you night and day
But you didn’t bother to respond
You were lost in a world we no longer live in
A world of hate and destruction

Look
You see —
Where I live
There’s a light at the end of the road
It has room for one more

See this is not the time to drown in despair
It is a new beginning
Life will pass you by
I won’t be there to hold your hand
I won’t be there to shine the dull light
But if you trust me
Take my hand and follow me
Into the world where you sit on a throne
The throne of Beauty,
Love,
And Prosperity

See… you hold the golden ticket.
