Into the Sands Of Time...

When I look back now,
I see the shadow of my old self,
The freezing wind of my past,
Innocence burned in fire...
I feel the pain, the sadness of the silence,
Of words left unspoken...

I moved a thousand paces forward,
A breathtaking sense of possibility behind those eyes,
A sudden burst of happiness in the air.

But one step back and I was there again
Somehow the light gave way to darkness,
No hope for those who believe that the sky will open up.

And now I realize that I need to start wandering again,
Into the silence
Casting its darkness, into the heart of skies.
