Tell me when I get there
—all the woes that I
have gone through—
the waves towering high
above my head
and the mud covering
the soles of my feet
Tell me when I get there
—all the songs I've sung
and will have to singTell me when I get there
—all the roads I took
without haste or lies—
the journey of life
through dark days
without respite
and the turns of fate
moving past me
without delight
Tell me when I get there
—all the seasons I've
gone through and
the eras I've swumTell me when I get there
—all the silence I endured
from the void—
the shifting dunes
scratching the sky
I couldn't reach and
the striking heat of what
used to be my passion
Tell me when I get there
—all the noise I have
shouted to the wild and
will continue to screamTell me when I get there
—all the past mistakes I made
without thought or might—
the faults of time with
the consequence and light
and the dreams of yesterday
reaching out for me with
the promises in sight
Tell me when I get there
—all the memories of old
and the life I've led
until the world became dim
