A Long Way Within
It’s a long way across rivers wide
A lifetime from shore to rocky shoal
It’s difficult to envision that the earth is turning round
While leering blindly, lost in the womb of time
It’s been a long way from way back then to here and now
An unfinished journey from the cradle to the grave
When the mind can’t see tomorrow,
The stars won’t guide you home
It’s a long march up the proverbial hill
A long way across to other distant rock-strewn spires
The possibilities are vast and yet the pathway is unknown
It’s a long mile to carry the weight of that load
The road is long since the embryo of the dawn
Over the hills and far away
Glowing light at the end of the tunnel remains undefined
Until you take that final imminent earthly stride headed home
We’ll never ascend to the highest mountain peaks
Through faithless, fleeting stabs in the dark
Standing on the brink of a precipice
Just a step away leaves one hanging by a thread
There’s a distinct ulterior boundary wall
Looming in the vista beyond
Patient perception unveils the cosmic distance
Witnessing the sphere of life's evolution, through the spirit from within…
