Song of the Journey's End

By Wallace - 10 July 06

old and new, waiting for you
over the hills and under the sun
waiting for you as life has just begun
waiting for you as long as can be
waiting for you and waiting for me

here again we go together my friend
through these woods deep as sorrow
here again we travel away into every day
through mountains and glens unto tomorrow

gilding and golden, sapling in green
dusty and dark, white into stark
the colors abound throughout our journey
spreading into our hearts at what has been seen
making us age at wisdom's stages

here we shall see all of life's majesty
in the oceans and ponds and what is beyond
footsteps echoing onto hard ground
voices fading out until they have no sound

finally we arrive where we started before
facing each other the same as we changed
one of us lives, one of us cries
the other lies down in the cold ground and dies
