I was only passing by
time gave me a gift
the wind strode by
asserting to give me a lift.
As I walked my eyes were looking down
though my head was thinking way above the trees
Long after the last cloud had gone
when all had been said and done
friendships that spoke no more.
It was then the truth began to carry me
to be honest I was relieved
the dream could no longer be perceived.
I was finally free to see the bigger picture
I could sing and dance the weight of the past in to the future.
Yes time gave me gift
and I embraced the anticipated shift.
There was no quarrel
the silence had won
this time I will not bait reflection
for this new journey of nature's connection.
