Poetic Flights: The Crossing

There's always a second chance

How did you get so far today?

I see you’ve turned slightly grey, in your eyes.

Step towards me, fill yourself afresh,

I see you’ve seen the day before the morning cried.

It’s not time to back down today,

There won’t be another turn for miles ahead.

Wash your feet in this flowing stream,

There won’t be a need for signs of all that bled.

The piper’s no longer the master of you,

Decide which end you want stronger.

The debts are no longer following you,

You are clean from every corner.

The paths are yours for the taking,

For winds you follow will give you quarter.

Dream of a home on this road you’re on,

You don’t need to confide and reside, just decide.

Can you hear the distance saying you’re near,

You are at home within the world outside.

Forget the poison that plagued your past,

Let me pour this water on your eyes tonight.

Clear the dirt that sketches shadows which aren’t,

Let me wake you to the journey without yesterdays fight.

There are no shackles on your feet,

There is no sound from afar calling.

Fresh as dewdrops, look who’s here to meet,

Its alright if we’re headed for another falling?

Feel the breeze brush against your face,

No one sent it here to meet you.

It’s telling you’re onto the path you should trace,

No one could’ve marked it but you.

You are clean from every corner.

The paths are yours for the taking,

For winds you follow will give you quarter.

***

See the lights go up in the city,

We can stop if you want for a while,

The time we have won is ours now really,

Let’s just be here a while to watch the night smile.
