Thinking Back ©©

Laying here watching time drift away

Thinking about yesterday

All the way back to the beginning of time

At the first light of your dawn

We come from the darkness 

A womb that gave us warmth and security

Into the light of day for fate to swallow up

To be thrown up time and again

The faces of those you met 

Pass before your eyes like the stars in the night sky

The feelings we hold for each one slowly drift away

As do the years 

All hopes and dreams left behind

All the dreamers melt away into obscurity

The voices that inspire who we must be 

For there to be a future full of hope

Between the light and darkness 

Is where we breed life for hope to exist

It’s where we learn about pain and love

The cost and the reward

Are we the ones that are left behind

Are we the survivors of our own dreams

Or is this the nightmare that we created

To suffer for what we can’t have 

What have we learned for all the sacrifice

That we will do it all again and again

Until we get it right

Or it will be the end

Laying here looking at what is left

Thinking about tomorrow

All the way to the end of time

Where the darkness awaits your return
