End Of The Beginning

It’s coming near

It’s the end and it’s never been so clear

My time wasted and lost in the years

Could wash it all away in tears

But the truth forever lies in this fear

 

The past as long since taken future

The path is narrowing not much left to capture

Running out of colors to add to this picture

Desperately trying to complete this adventure

The questions of what could have been are my torture

Got to make things right before my mind fractures

 

Living every day like my last

But the pace is just to fast

Opportunities are crumbling into the past

The hole inside is just too vast

 

In the face of the unavoidable

As I stand ready to lose it all

This world becomes so alien

A new perspective on the familiar

As though a life of dilution as found purity

No longer lost in the pursuit, the blur is lifted

With no where left to go the destination becomes real

A moment of life’s true form

Not felt since the first opening of the eyes

A moment of pondering

Wondering if it was just a cycle

The clock ticking down to a renewal

 

Surrounded by all I’ve known

I know my next step will be alone

In these last moments I have grown

No longer scared, the light is shown

 

As the door behind closes

The door beyond opens

But there is a split second

A moment of emptiness

A judgment of self by self

A lifetime condensed in an instant

A spec of time that will change eternity

 

Beyond the doors of the unknown

The choice remains yours

Carry the past beyond the sacred stone

Or leave it behind to let your soul soar

 

With the beginning of the end

Comes a feeling of belonging

As if this end was but a turn

An end that brought a beginning

The start of what was always meant to be

Making this the end of the beginning
