As I stand on the cusp of the forever

I look into the past and ask myself why.

Why trouble with the endless nights and the sleepless journeys.

Why see this through to the end when today is so simple

To the end of it all is where my path leads me.

So into the dark I travel

where the end is something of a mystery

and the beginning the final end of it all.

Into the dark I ride my faithful steed

Along roads well traveled

and those unknown

Into the dark

and bursting into the light

the light finds me slowly staggering into the unknown

along the path laid before me my feet do take me

up highways

down freeways

Into the light I do travel.

The end begins with those first steps

those innocent simple little movements

moving you into the future.

At that moment,

in the dark light of the now,

I am a child.

As a child, I take my first steps

towards those waiting arms of my Father.
