a kiss from the sky

Taproot

Beyond the back row off the beat and path
Step into a field of dying blades of grass
So thick I have to use my hands
And slowly sinking in quicksand
I'll pull away till I can see again

Staring down with a kiss from the sky
Unsure what feeds the flame
I know a secret way
Unclear the reason why
I'll go in hopes to find

Between the field now and the river bed
Inching closer to the waters edge
3 rocks separate the flow
Each stride I chip away the stone
Every breath I pray a miracle

Raining down like a kiss from the sky
Unsure what feeds the flame
I know a secret way
Unclear the reason why
I'll go in hopes to find

Setting foot on solid ground again
At the hillside's steepest climb
Nearing the top I seem among the clouds

Staring down like a kiss from the sky
Unsure what feeds the flame
I know a secret way
Unclear the reason why
I'll go in hopes to find
