Get back basics
uncover the source
early beginnings
no more remorse
...
To stand apart
to step out of the stream
this circulation
you lose yourself
...
It was an empty forlorn lot
no focal point to rest
the eye and take a closer look
by nature to be blessed
...
Had I not stood on the crater
of perdition's rocky ledge
had the spewing of hot lava
not left skin and nerves on edge
...
in this life we're oft found striving
climbing toward wishes, goals
running hither and then thither
urging, surging in our roles
...
In my life I knew no journey
no direction and no way
never did I climb a mountain
never had too much to say
...
His eyes grew dim as age crept up
days blurring, often gray
but when the shroud of night arrived
street lights burst forth with rays
...
The myths of time have spoken
Of creatures who can see
In every known direction
On land and far off sea
...
Many voices, many choices
calling me to fields unsown
corners of my mind's obsessions
I have finally outgrown
...
