The Essence

So pure is the essence
Full of love, life and undying acceptance
Giving more, receiving less
With no regrets its sweet caress
Worthy of transcendence
So powerful is the essence
Like a ship tossed and driven
Battered by the sea of the unforgiven
It sails alone only with the holy presence

The mystery remains unsolved
The more I try the more rights I’ve turned to wrong
Though faith, courage and truth have always kept it strong
Like the moonlight, it’s weary when it dances too long
So vulnerable is the essence
Susceptible to the vampire’s bite
Again and again it’s just another victim of the night
You think it would learn its lesson
But sometimes it takes three lefts just to make one right

Life will cease to flow when the essence turns cold
Sight will be blind and all will fall apart
It’s been the center of us from the very first start
Don’t let the tales of love and life go untold
The essence I’m referring to is our hearts
