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
