Moving Towards

Music by Sheldon King 

Open windows of my soul gliding in the knowledge 
of my yesterdays 
Here I am breaking down the gates, of all my defenses
it is now that my life commences 
Refrain: As I move towards, ... move towards 
 my sane....
Down valleys and lakes and rivers I journey 
no way to know which way to go
Walking through alleys of my tomorrows 
I leave behind all my happiness and sorrows.  
Refrain: As I move towards, ... move towards 
my flame...
Open windows of my soul, gliding in places 
where I've never been before ...
Here I am, dismantling my failures, setting sail 
Refrain: As I move towards, ... move towards 
the pouring, rain !

o me, this poem is about rebirth or renascence — after years of defenses, failures, attachments, the speaker decides to open up, to let life begin anew. The journey is not linear or certain; the speaker doesn’t know the direction, but feels compelled toward something (sanity? flame? rain?). The act of dismantling, of letting go, is as important as any destination. The ending “setting sail” suggests a departure, an opening into unknown seas.

Setting sail represents freedom new beginning and leaving the old behind. You have that right dear Jay, thanks for the lovely comment. In depth and beautiful
