Blanket me in the serenity As I rummage for my own identity My hands battered and bruised As to where the pieces go I am confused I strive forward knowing there is no going home Like the rest I am destined to roam Not knowing which way to go The path grew over along time ago The blindfold is wrapped too tight Unable to remove it even with all my might I have lost the road map It seems like this life is a trap The faces are all becoming one A figment of my imagination like the midnight sun Deja vu rings in it's echo formation Leaving me with no explanation I stand alone on this uncharted path Facing the elements wrath Hoping someone will say stop So that I may just drop Yet the fabled voice never comes A fantasy is all it becomes Weeping into oblivion's folds As this life slowly unfolds Strength slowly builds inside Taking each second in stride Realization strikes like Big Ben One single moment of Zen A stream runs through me Making me a transmitter like a TV In silence I do stand A lone grain of sand An author of something they call fate No longer pining for that soul mate Simply looking for that better day Amongst the heaps of grey Clouds pouring the rain down Destroying my paper crown My restraints are shattered Matching my clothes which are now tattered The dawn of my life has risen I step from out of this personal prison Those bread crumbs I left behind have vanished As well the thoughts of yesteryear I have banished My legs will not collapse Is this destiny perhaps I continue on this meandering journey Without the aid of a gurney I walk on no longer a victim of birth Till my footsteps vanish from this earth Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. |

Yes Passing shadows it is, in these times we need to start thinking about the consquences to our actions. LeeJ this is true, after the darkness night comes a brighter day. Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. |
