Trust is trust
And cheating is cheating
Until someone you trust cheats
And someone who cheated
Becomes someone you trust
Oh, the ease
Of a life black-and-white
One can only dream
As infinite hues
Storm down, thrash, flood
Tread, paddle, stroke
Head above water
Choose, wait, contemplate
Let the universe decide?
No—blame the rulebook!
Draw lines in the sand
Except you touch only water
The last gone
Before the next is begun
It’s just you
Your experiences reflected on
Your heart and mind
People you want to be like
Your intuition, actions, time
Paint your own picture
Make freakin’ water lines
Build, break, reformulate
Surf, surrender—rise.
