Take me by the hand

To where the highest hills

Look down on me

Bathed in purple sky

And the  stars

Play hide and seek amongst the speckled night

 

Go with me

Along the naked paths

Which turn and weave

With twisted arms

and moving light

Make patterns on the once green fields of day

and grey silences of night

 

For I was  young; but now am older

And within; my heart grows nearer to the shepherds fold

Feigning youth I mark my name; though

In the mirror a different tale;

My thoughts are still the same

 

So lead me now to the blue, blue sky

I am here and you are there

The legacy is now theirs to find

And I will leave for a different kind
