Looking past

A ribbon of black
	smooth and cold
the sheer rock walls
	and a twisting path

dark lies the clouds
	that be for me lie
and the golden warmth
	left so far behind

I know not where
	which way to go
and the memories fade
	of what lays behind

here I cannot be
	for it will not remain
I feel it slipping away
	even as memories fade

on winds the road
	and the waves still crash
cold grows the sky
	and the coming rain

if I try just to stand
	if I do not decide
the future will crush me
	and bury my remains

into the darkness
	my steps they do lead
and I would not take them
	of my world it does fade
