Unknown World

I stand in the doorway of an unknown world
A voice calls out and I am reminded to behold:

Your footsteps are the markers
Of the path you have tread
They are not meant to determine
What lies ahead

Look forward to the horizon
And do not fear what is unseen
Live not your life
For what might have been

Life’s journey will bring you
Through heaven and hell
It is your decision
Upon which your thoughts dwell

I stand in the doorway of an unknown world
My legs are weary and my soul feels so old

It is then that I realize I have not stepped across
The threshold of wonder and the borders of loss

My hands reach out before me into this unknown world
A stranger comes by and I am reminded to behold:

Your footsteps are the markers
Of the path you have tread
They are not meant to determine
What lies ahead

Look forward to the horizon
And do not fear what is unseen
My friend it matters not
The places you have been

Life’s journey will bring you
Through heaven and hell
Take my hand for a while
Let the future foretell

I now soar with wings of hope and of trust
My spirit shines golden, tainted with lust
I continue to venture in this unknown world
My friend at my side, his hand I will hold
