Glow (Part 3: Reflection)

Though the past lies ever trailing It is never farther than a breath away The years acquaint as teachers Passing scholars of wisdom Each time you withdraw And thereupon repent, remember You cannot start a new line Without lifting pen from page Hope ignites the flame dormant for too long Free me from affliction so I can move on Mental confines of uncertainty Fall in the face of awakening As a new wall lay before me I look back on how far I've come Reflecting from a new perspective Who I was and who I am The years are mentors, passing by me Lessons learned from things I've done I am the storm now, I am the tide I know myself and that's enough Down in the void I was blind to the world But now I'm free I let go I let go Free from the echo The world turns again I find home
