Michael Domaracki Poet Lyric

Part of Me

PART OF ME  ( PASSION )


NOWHERE LEFT TO GO 
 BUT TO RETURN HOME
SAFELY LOCKED AWAY
 FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY LIFE
AND IN MY PASSING WHAT PART OF ME REMAINS
WHAT PART OF ME WILL BE RETAINED
 OR DETAINED AT THE GATE 
AS I PASS INTO MY NEXT LIFE

AND TELL ME, WHO’S TO SAY
WHO IS TO SAY WHAT AWAITS EACH OF US
 ON THE OTHER SIDE

ETERNAL LIFE, ETERNAL NIGHT
 THE LIGHT OF DAY OR
 THE DEAD OF NIGHT
WHAT I SAW, WHAT YOU SEE
WHO IS TO SAY WHAT PART OF ME
 WILL BE LEFT BEHIND
OR AT LEAST TO CARRY ON…

MORTALITY WAS NOT FOR ME
IN ORDER TO TRAVEL BEYOND THE REALM
I’VE HAD TO STEP OUTSIDE MY SHELL
TO WALK UNHINDERED TO MY NEXT DESTINATION
I JOURNEY, TRAVELING
 BEYOND THE CENTER, EARTH
FAR REMOVED FROM MY BODY
 MY SPIRIT SOARS…

BUT WHAT PART OF ME REMAINS
MY SUFFERING COULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN VAIN
FOR THE LESSON WE ALL MUST LEARN
IS THE ONE ALONE I’LL DIE FOR

THE PART OF ME THAT SEES BEYOND BELIEF
THAT BELIEVES BEYOND WHAT I SEE
MY ALL CONSUMING PASSION
