walking through my memories
recalls a time in my youth
pacified by imagination

innocence saved me
from the truth


I find myself upon a ground
I haven't visited in years
now a stranger

where in my youth
I grew and conquered my fears
distractions from the present

comes rushing in
and the pressures to succeed
are here again


fear over taking me
I'm frightened at

how far I've come
since yesterday, soothing presence
comes over me

voices calling to me

climb aboard the wind

set your sights beyond
what lies upon the horizon


I turned to find myself alone
alone to stare back
at the things I've done

forever locked into a place in time
and never to return
except within my mind


time is precious
I've not a moment I can waste

each day I take from the future
I add to my past
I'm frightened at

how far I've come
how long will I last
