I'm going now
I've set my compass point to North,
and turned my life around at last,
all I have done is underlined,
and I have boxed up all my past,
I shall not walk the lower plains,
I'm meant for roaming frozen peaks,
I've just been sat denying it,
through lonely days and aching weeks.
Afraid of truth I told myself,
my southern trip would be okay,
but when life gets us down so much,
we find no joy in any way,
we have to re-address, I guess,
and as I did I found that I,
was fooling myself for too long.
Accepting truth destroyed the lie,
That blanketed my sense of self,
like snow will cover mountain tops,
and now I recognize I know,
that this is where the fooling stops,
when someone wants the world but you,
have just a square of soil to give,
I guess it's time to let them go,
thus then enhancing how we live.

where to for now, I don't know.

I know you watch me
Looking for a little snatch
Of a whisper of my life.
I know that you wait
For a call that will never

Your smile once enlightened me
Your eyes brought me clarity
Your voice commanded me
Your laughter refreshed me
