Ouroboros

Carry no fear in your heart Nor on your shoulders, shame For the end is nothing more Than the start by another name. It is strange how we yearn For what we have never known. Nostalgic for a time long past Before our seeds were sown. Homesick for a feeling lost, For a land so green and sure. For a shore we have never seen, For waters that have never graced Nor lapped our weary feet. For a space we thought was ours For the darkness that hangs in waiting Between the gaps among the stars. For the peace we have never found For the war we have always sought For the feelings we seldom caught, For the love of all unbound. Carry no fear in your heart Nor on your shoulders, shame For the end is nothing more Than the start by another name.
