that makes people leap into the dark
that makes heros out of farmers
What changes within a person
to cause bravery to rise
to cause an unstoppable force
How can it be
that this resolute cry
this passion of the courageous
Resides within a man
Such acts are reserved for the gods
as we mortals are told
But the hint of truth
that hides inside the fairy tale
is that even though
Gods created us
We created Gods
and like a candle and flickering shadows
We are bound inexplicably
to be part of the other
So though gods act boldly
and reach into the stars
to turn and twist the strands of fate
they falter at love
they wonder at guilt
They smash a world with rain
without a hint of remorse
While we the humble human
who toss and turn
in a sea of overwhelming emotion
barely staying afloat in the raging torrent
Sometimes we reach towards the heavens
and make the gods tremble at our actions
Sometimes we choose our fate
Sometimes we rival the creators.
