I left this old world in the shadows of yesterday
Slipping silently, contentedly into tomorrow
I closed my eyes and held hands with nothingness
and slid my feet into the abyss
Calmly, stolidly moving forward into the unknown
I watch the starlit sky for the red-rimmed dawn
Every moment on the road behind a song
drumming in my veins as my heart beats
faster in the anticipation and wonder of it all
