Ground up

There will come a time in life
When we may have to reinvent 
What defined us in hindsight 
Regardless of intent 
Through tragedy or circumstance 
Which has brought us to our knees
In an apogee disguised as chance
So you see beyond the trees
Through each layer of that forest 
That still hides within itself 
Like that prayer lost in chorus 
Yet provides you with such wealth
So a lesson becomes crystal clear 
Right before you start to stand
In a blessing that will conquer fear
Until it pours like running sand
It will build you up on solid ground
Which was just a layer thin 
To strengthen what you finally found
That will let you rise again....
