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
