LIFE IS JUST LIKE THAT

STAR CHART
L.A. Maihi 2012

I've passed this way before
I deja vued some souls
they think they have control
but life is just like that...

I've watched the sun set on this shore
with a bow upon my back
I rode the plains upon my steed
but life is just like that....

I birthed into a cave of light
with my family intact
I cried to see shadows alive
but life is just like that....

I swam beneath the turquoise waves
a flash of scaling stack
my hair it flowed over my eyes
but life is just like that....

I jumped upon the struggling bird
was hungry just a fact
then slinked across the garden wall
but life is just like that....

I flew into the starry night
my eyes wide open with the flight
I saw the world in a different light
but life is just like that...

I lay cradled in his arms
my life was fading fast
I knew his hopes were his charm
but life is just like that...

I hunted the bison on the plains
my arm held steady as a tack
I watched my children grow from seed
but life is just like that...

I sat upon my legs of wheels
an empty shell of bric-a-brac
the carriage had taken my body back home
but life is just like that...

The sun streamed in the window clear
my buckled body spent and slack
I dwelled upon my crippled spine
but life is just like that....


I take my soul to the waka
on which we journey back
I breath the last taste of air
but life is just like that...
