Leaving and De-Leaving

LEAVING AND DE-LEAVING
I am your deepest blinding light
someone you've scarcely met
I'm everything you've ever known,
but chosen to forget.

I am the Lord of Poconos,
I'm everything to lose,
the southwind is my resting place
we blow where I may choose.

I'll lead you on a treasure hunt,
a voyage through the mind,
to Treasure Islands never known
and never meant to find.

I am someone who'll never die,
the author of my fate,
part of each thought you'll ever know,
I'm love, and I am hate,

there is no end to what I do,
my mind is your domain,
I am your thought, each breath you take
I am your summer rain,

and drifting in an autumn wind,
each leaf is yours to hold,
and you will know I'm there as well,
not young, but never old.
