Refreshment of the Mind
It’s been so long
I’ve come so far
But I start again
To see where we are
There are too many sides
So much to lose
Too much lying
So much abuse
For something worth dying
We must love it a lot
But what is this thing
There’s no time to stop
Think of an answer
Think of it fast
Think of a use
Then make it last
I travel forever
Until I am gone
So far away
From all that is wrong
Time is a word
So is death
It comes from fear
Yet it has so much worth
I travel forever
Until there is light
There are endless mountains
Truly a sight
Taken by meaning
Things I can’t see
Things that I feel
There is only me
