Adolph Hamilton

Today I met my past ,not the one I created,  but the one in which I was cast

It seemed to have accepted its fate ,to already  realize it was much too late

It no longer held the power over me it once had ,the questions the wondering,  the if only I had.

In the same room the future sat too,
Briefly holding its place with the past But destin to make its own mark at last

It feared moving on ,all on its own. but it had  a story to tell, a tale to be told ,a future upon which the past had no hold.

So as countless times before the past moved  on , to happier days . The future stepped out into the suns rays,Bravely into life, to meet its fate ,its very own past to create.

For Meg .while I sat with my sister before she (past )along side of her was her daughter the( future)

I stood alone on the egde of the night.

Listening to the waves as they beckon the light .

Darkness surrounds the whole of my soul,this murky deep blackness that is so cold.

Lost and lovelorn is my plight I asked you to be with me here tonight.

But that was not what fate had in store, Alone with my demons I stand on the shore .

How did I get here so close to deaths door.

The cool salty water beckons me forth, with the promise of peace and enduring warmth.

Her eyes burn with a fire that lit my days

She moved with a grace that did not abade

When her lips touched mine my breath would fade

Lost in my love for her I would remain

But alas she was a spirit not to be tamed.

When your looking for peace, Iam easily found.

On the beach, where the waves make that lovely sound.

In the darkness on the edge of town

When you walk alone, your feet in the sand.

Just think of me and youll feel my hand.

Ive left so much of myself on that beach,

That there Ill be forever, always within reach.

I stood alone on the egde of the night.

Listening to the waves as they beckon the light .

Darkness surrounds the whole of my soul,this murky deep blackness that is so cold.

Lost and lovelorn is my plight I asked you to be with me here tonight.

But that was not what fate had in store, Alone with my demons I stand on the shore .

How did I get here so close to deaths door.

The cool salty water beckons me forth, with the promise of peace and enduring warmth.

They knew me better then I knew myself, my found brothers.

Then saw into my soul and named me accordingly

After a fortnight my name was written upon the sky and the elders rejoiced

Gone from my soul was my Christian name and in its place the name of my true essence

It took me many years to understand my name is, flys alone and Iam a warrior.

Dont look for the man you used to know , I cut his chains and freed him long ago.

I buried him with all his grief, freed forever from past
His soul born again alas.

Iam not who you may think, not god nor man. Let go of the past and be who I'am .

There was a time when you owned me a willing slave I will no longer be.

The sun now bright and the air so clean
I start anew with my slate clean.
