Eve of Reflection

 

Where have I been, where have I gone

Reflections are blurred with life's chaos

Perhaps it is that I chose to remain as one

Perhaps I chose to shepherd everything toward loss

 

Will I wander the forests alone ever searching on trails a winding

My roots reach into my soul for answers this mid-winter's eve

I know there must hope of me finding

An answer to my prayers - I do believe

 

Tree silhouette stands alone as sunset nears

Ready to launch me once more into the dark of the night

I fight to stop the shedding of my tears

Nature as a soul mate holds me tight

 

Darkness will soon come and the stars will lead the way

Reflections will pass on for yet another day
