I wrote this song when a very close friend died. My melody is arranged and played by James Gladson and the beautiful vocal is provided by Tilly Aldaine.

Moving on
I’m moving on 
I’m moving on to the light
Moving on
I’m moving on 
I’m moving on to the light

A path
that never ends
but twists and bends
and winds and turns
so much to learn
about the ways
and mysteries
of who we are
and what we’ll be

Moving on
I’m moving on 
I’m moving on to the light
Moving on
I’m moving on 
I’m moving on to the light

A road
with holes and cracks
and countless tracks
on different lines
for there’s no sign
no map or guide
or marks to show
the traveller
which way to go

Moving on
I’m moving on 
I’m moving on to the light
Moving on
I’m moving on 
I’m moving on to the light

Time
that ceaseless flow
where does it go?
where are we bound?
what shall be found?
uncertain goals
just out of sight 
compel all souls
towards the light

Moving on
I’m moving on 
I’m moving on to the light
Moving on
I’m moving on 
I’m moving on to the light

Mavis, I love your poem, which was only enhanced by your beautiful voice and melody. When I read it, one of my first thoughts was the sense of musicality. The melody and your voice will stay with me for the rest of the day. ??

Hi Julie, thank you for your comment. I have just edited the information about the songs production as I am not a singer, I only sing enough to convey a melody I make up to a musician/producer and then he constructs the backing track and the vocal is provided by friends who are amateur singers.

Apologies for the question marks. I forgot - text only and no smiley face emojis. It morphed into two question marks, which just looks very odd.
