Arriving to end... at the beginning apartaround each bend... is the straight & narrow
around each corner... the point of the arrow
Head in one direction... then turn to face north
walk in behind yourself... then travel forth
never look down... don't delve into that path
for your light leads the way... shining deep in your heart
Ever seen the reflection... of dark glowing face
A landscape of change... a mountain to race
eternal, maternal... the weather of change
that leaves debris... hanging upon your frame
Head for the mountains... but always look back
to learn how to live... with the future intact
listen to the old... but live in the now
for the myths of the past... will show you how
Reach out your hands... into the water cold
follow with your body... let the present unfold
calm down the surface... to a glass sheen
smooth over the waters... to a solid machine
Tis Time to Lord... the passing hand
to tick off the clock... and make a stand
scaffolding in place...to catch the fall
to create your taonga... is a gift it to all
