Echoes

Escape into the night Over bushes, through trees Freedom Is where the birds are The world is mine... I'm ready to leap from the edge And into the pool of water What a rush To burst through the surface Peace of mind... There is a beauty to the end My heart aches and I rush To the tallest cliff I look out into a world so young Nostalgic echoes... The harder I run from the past The closer I always end up So I take a breath And the world finally spins Echoes... I think I've forgiven myself I'm ready to live again This is what life is all about Right? ...

The past is for our learning and the present is for living, while striving to make the right choices. Your thoughts curl around so many emotions. So beautifully written. ~ Brandy
