We have reached the top and

We have reached the top and

The world is at our feet

Heads high with a sense of

No failure or defeat

We will wait for sunset

When we begin descent

Looking back with pride and

Over-the-top content

To never look forward

To never look forward
And able to forget
To live in the moment
Without plans or regret

In a breath, in a blink
Smell the air, see the view
Hear the hum, taste the Life
Feel the wind passing through

To see the world again

To see the world again
From the eyes of a child
Once brand new and pure not
At all unsure or wild

The wonder, amazement
Simple joy found in time
Once innocent and small
No terrorists or crime

Layer after layer

Layer after layer

The sediment of years

Here again the marker

That never disappears

A fossil memory

An imprint caught in time

The joy, the happiness

When we were in our prime

The why or the wherefore

The why or the wherefore

The rain is subsiding

The searching for answers

No longer residing

In the heart or the mind

The sun is coming through

The day is beckoning

To forego any clue

A blanket on the day

A blanket on the day
The cloud cover is still
Time can be heard ticking
Future to now to nil

No sense of hierarchy
Randomness and ruin
Imperfection lurking
And chaos a shoo-in

Is there some higher plane

Is there some higher plane
A greater sense of me
Can I expand, explore
Strike a different key

Or reach a higher note
Beyond my skill or scope
Does it take belief or
Perseverance and hope
