Rhyme or Reason: James Adamson

To the Glory of God  
To Gwyneth with Love 

Walking among the shadows in a forest  
There is no rhyme or reason in knowing what the shadows are 
Until you look up 
Life exceeds you if you know you are living 
The clouds bleed off a mountain peak 
Leaves stab into the sky 
The grains of sand are innumerable yet there is a poverty of children 
A tiger shark appears and you call her sweet and beautiful 
Hitchhiking brings you around further from where you are going 
Many people die crossing the street 
I am different but I did not know 
Falling through the cracks and immorality 
Victim is an insulting word 
You climb a mountain starting at the top 
You fly never knowing otherwise 
Friends are lies waiting to be told 
Obviousness is the past 
Power is blind 
Duty is hope 
Music is credit to nature 
To reach for heaven is a mystery 
To love turns your heart into the world 
Run and run and never know the limits 
There is an artist of the past 
A small thing for the simplicity of our times 
We all get contaminated by error 
We all take credit for our times 
Trees die and earth quakes 
People barely hang on and fall into the sky
