A Time to Say Good-Bye

There are thoughts and then there are thoughts

There are worlds to create and episodes to reestablish

There are moments when realized  
Relinquish all deception to the powers of truth

Truth touched by a beam
Flickering like a distant lighthouse
Leading the way to tomorrow

There are dreams to invent
And stars to embrace

Fires to feed
And wonders to manage

There is hope and anticipation
Filling the soul
With awe and mystery

With the will to endure

There is a window
One can peer out from
To see the world for what it really stands for

And a golden ladder
To climb upon
When the lead of life is much too heavy
And the activity surrounding you
Much too trite

There is a place so few will wander
And so many resist knowing

And yes, there is a time to leave
And say good-bye
