Transitions

Scrolls unravel to tell us tales of the past
A powerful spell upon us all it does cast
What has been written cannot be undone
An attempt at it is like staring at the sun
The light at the end attracts a glance or two
When you stare at it blindness takes over you

A blink of the eye and it all passes by
No sight of a rainbow up in the sky
Tears roll down the cheek without a stop
All emotion ceases, life becomes a prop
When all hopes fade away you halt and seek
Questions without answers make you weak

A past is an entity that cannot be erased
The one who does try ends up being dazed
Look ahead, the future lies in your hands
Build your own castles in the smooth sands
Or stand in silence as they get washed away
Not everything that we build is here to stay

A blink of the eye and it all passes by
No sight of a rainbow up in the sky
Tears roll down the cheek without a stop
All emotion ceases, life becomes a prop
When all hopes fade away you halt and seek
Questions without answers make you weak

But that is the inspiration that we all need
A tree emerges when you sow a single seed
Cribs and sighs are pauses in a new beginning
Overcome them all and a new song you sing
With all your might that shell you shred
A breath of fresh air and a long way ahead
