Look at me, head held high
Searching through the stars
Plotting a new course in life
Of what I’m longing for
Always an adventure
Know I’m never gonna break
Got the universe before me
And a love that won’t forsake
That’s one small step
In the torrent of the vast
Eternity consuming me
Much more than I could ask
Much more than I could grasp
Existence overwhelming
Yet continue to explore myself
Because it’s so compelling
Breathe so deep
My lungs filled and expanding
Breath released
The stresses so demanding
No gravity to hold me
To the burdens of another
No fears and superstitions
To bind, contain and smother
Life is so much bigger
Than the singular of moments
The ones that bother to distract us
And leave us feeling broken
But instead of ignoring them
Pretending they’re but phantoms
We need to learn to grow through them
Find love in expansion
Pursuit and endeavor
Desire, exploration
Perspective and awareness
And ceaseless transformation
The complexities of self
A journey through the cosmos
Connecting spirit with the soul
Off into this great unknown
Love, I have found you
In this limitless expanse
The Universe a labyrinth
With its ever-winding paths
It is a journey of a lifetime
A saga which to act
An epic of existence
Where all creation’s an impact
Mysteries all around us
The miraculous of life
Where we can only beg to question
And never really know what’s right
Somewhat always in the blind
And in some ways always alone
Yet we’re all beckoned to discover
Who we are within our own
Take one step to lead the other
Finding my supports
Take a breath to keep composure
As I’m plotting my own course
I don’t know where life will take me
As this odyssey unfolds
Yet I will go on bravely
Eager to see what it yet holds
