GOING ABOVE AND AHEAD

I awoke to the sound of 

Children screaming, dogs barking,

The sun’s light and the wind’s blowing

And I knew I had to travel,

For the day awake does not await

A poor man’s sleeping, sorry fate.

So I walked and I wandered far,

Cast the sails and quit my job,

Grabbed a tool and followed the stars.

I wasn’t sure if I would ever return or 

Find a cabin in the woods.

But maybe just maybe I wouldn’t 

Come back empty, but I’d come 

Back with foresight that’s real

And judgement that’s sober.

I haven’t mapped out the future nor

Considered the past, but

I have listened to my hearts cry,

To go and go do!

To love and let love!

To search and go find!

Therefore I will follow and I will wait

For journey’s waiting, resting face.
