Summit

As I walk through the dark streets
I only hear the sound of my feet
Complete quiet, except for the wind
The deafening silence shows me where to begin

It points me to a world of firsts
A world of love free of hurt
A place where I can be myself
Without questioning and without the doubt

But I must change the course I'm on
Take a turn to pursue the evading dawn
I've traveled into the sun too many times
I'll go this way now to discover my mind

Turn off the street to an overgrown path
Seemingly difficult to tread with wrath
Letting go of anger and hateful thoughts
Accepting love and kind words sought

Small steps I take as caution is due
But I'll keep on moving to find the truth
I'll avoid the traps and I'll hurdle the fences
I'll climb a mountain without pretense

Because I know at the summit I'll find
The secret of life and peace of mind
So if dont come around for a while you'll know
I've gone on a journey seeking my soul.
