Shook like a leaf on a branch of confusion
Thought that my world it would end
Caught up believing that I didn’t matter
Long of these hours to spend

Drank from a cup that was so overflowing
Drenching my soul with desire
Never once thinking this liquid perfection
Pouring, would put out the fire

Reaching for stars in the hopes I would catch one
Brightly to shine in my hand
Till it did fade in the darkness now given
All along part of the plan

There on the ground neath an arbor of jasmine
Pathways encircle the quest
Found as I stare on this sign of direction
Knowing I gave it my best

Now I can smile to the sun slowly rising
Feeling my heart’s every beat
Realizing everything has but a reason
Memories formed I can keep

When I look back on those days of tomorrow
Breathing relief in a sigh
Whispering softly that I won’t forget you
Hanging here waving goodbye
Jack
