Starting to look over this way

The other way interests no more

I don’t even want to look at it

There is darkness and danger everywhere

This new path is shiny and enticing

Pretense of grand things ahead

I know this will lead where I’m going

Away from a past that is dead

Haunting things over my shoulder

Footsteps echo and resound

Things are beginning to approach

My body begins to pound

There’s light at the end of the tunnel

Where it’s from I can’t tell

I only know to keep on running

Away from my own private hell

My rainbow touches out there

Out in a distance unknown

Oh, where is my pot gold?

What happens if I can’t go home?

A breeze sweeps over the meadow

Mist strikes out cool and loud

Noise from a brook running by

Sun streaks slip out of a cloud

An awareness makes its way in

It’s not somewhere else I’m wise

Standing here, absorbing it all

Is my entire life before my eyes

Things appear as I look around

Beholding what I can see

It all is, but I haven’t cared

To see how these things can be

Walk on and take some time

To experience whatever is me

What lies ahead and falls behind

Can’t replace what now can be
