Into Silence I Stare

Into silence I stare, 

Watch the smoke drift, 

Mist through a dream, 

Embers in the gloom, 

Upward to the stars, 

Where angels do fly, 

Yet earthbound I be, 

Left to the wonder, 

To follow my shadow, 

Along yet another road, 

Through a forest grim, 

To the deserts beyond, 

Seek out new fields, 

Rest by shaded waters, 

As my life meanders, 

From journey till end.
