Dawn's Finale: One mans ending, anothers beginning

By Eric

Beginning Question:

In a rush to comprehend
This journey that im in
I tend to recognize
The cold hard truth
That I know not where to begin

Final Journey:

This road that I wander
The dark road of shadows in red
I turn to look over yander
At the dusk's fading light
The wind blown thru the willows
The bird's farewell chirp
For evening is upon us
and to rest lay the earth

Thru these final hours
I wander in deep thought
Upwards I begin to look
As the stars shine brightly so

Last Words To A Young Man:

To sleep I must now go
But before I depart
I leave a final word to thee
Never forget

Keep moving
Always moving onwards

Till the very day you fall
To the very place you crawl
To Sleep; Eternal's home...

    The Beginning Question reminds me of the first day of school. Hundreds of faces with no identity. Eventually...Tho... We give all of them one.

    yup, you've connected the dots well.. it does seem our need to have a reason why, but before long we realize it is found in 'not knowing', or rather 'experiencing' life. The moments we take for granted.. it is all there, in every moment.

    But we forget to see.. or more nearer the point we see too much, all at once.. we tend to forget the beauty of just merely being, ourselves, as we truly are without influence. My applause to you.. ~b
