Another Way to Go -------------------------------------------
You look out the sunlit window far away
Thinking of things you might have done
Wondering what might have been
Hoping maybe there’s yet a chance
You can find that life you’re longing for
Somewhere beyond the garden’s gate
Safely behind strong locked doors
You look back across shadowed rooms
To see the memories of your life
Standing on the floors
Hanging on the walls
Lieing in the drawers
Tonight you rest your head
On your own pillow in your own bed
Snug in sleep’s welcome embrace
Dreaming perhaps of what will be
Tomorrow after you pack just one bag
Of things that don’t need you
Its amazing how your words describe my current ...battles. Trying to grasp hope for a new future, something different, something safe. Meanwhile the past is still right in front of you, and in a weird way it's comfortable. Very beautifully written.
I think this is beautiful and brilliant! Dreaming and wondering about a journey in the future and its outcome, from the safety and security of home and the present!
