Day one... Ground zero...
Naked and afraid.
Empty coffers ready to be filled.
Nothing short of primal instinct
And an unknown spirit,
Soil unfurrowed waiting to be tilled.
Adolescence... Rights of passage...
Gangly, sprouting youth.
Minds all knowing, not to be deterred.
World before you at your feet,
You search for your own truth, while
Secretly you hang on every word.
Pains and pressures of adulthood,
Passing of the torch,
Hoping for a miracle or two.
Sudden realization that it's
Slipping through your fingers,
Wondering if they'll remember you.
Golden dreams mature to let you
Fully realize that
You wouldn't trade it even if you could.
The journey is the treasure, from
Day one until the end we're forever
Going, going, gone for good.
