A thousand miles from where I stand The dust of time slips through my hands I search the sands for what was lost A journey blurred, no matter the cost The veil of night, it pulls me in Whispers of truth, or just a sin? A distant call I can’t ignore I find myself wanting more Return to the source, where the rivers meet the sky I seek the path, but the road runs dry Return to the source, where the truth lies beneath Through smoke and mirrors, I find belief I feel the weight of endless years The echo of forgotten fears A temple rising in my mind The answers there, yet hard to find The veil of night, it pulls me in Whispers of truth, or just a sin? A distant call I can’t ignore I find myself wanting more Return to the source, where the rivers meet the sky I seek the path, but the road runs dry Return to the source, where the truth lies beneath Through smoke and mirrors, I find belief In the heart of the storm, I found my way Through the fire and the ash, I learned to stay The source awaits, the journey’s end But to it… we always ascend -------------------------------------------------------- © 2025 AgeonSmith.
