The beginnings

 

Twilight waking steadily 

Watch the sun go down 

The golden haze surrounds

Look back upon those early years 

Linger there 

The previous house 

Those precious memories

Look within and call on them 

Feel yourself in your core

Go beyond what’s in front of you 

Look yonder  

The first word

The first walk

The first memory 

Do you remember? 

Feel those footprints

Take yourself away 

For just a wee moment 

From this reality that you’ve made 

In the end

Or maybe now, if fortune’s yours 

You will see 

You will know 

All the answers are within

Who you are

Who you were 

And who you will be

You glance 

The sun goes down another inch 

Before your eyes 

Like the years gone by

Conversation after another 

Unfolds mysteries 

Origins and things that might have been 

Night falls and there comes another day 

Makes you wake up, up wake up 

Wake up oh human 

Feel yourself in your core 

Who you are 

Where you’ve been 

Oh human 

Where are you headed?
