Passage

Where I end
May you begin

Pick up
What I had to put down
A future with no past
Take away
What I had to leave
Ever only at the last

Carry on
Without my burdens
Beneath the glow of my dreams
Walk along
The torrent of my hopes
Skipping over their streams

Barefoot or boot-clad
May your steps
Find their grounding
Wrinkled or bath-washed
May your wings
Find their landing

Follow me no longer
You are stronger
Seek me no higher
You are wiser
Forget the map
You will light
Your own path
Even in the darkest keep
Over and through
The deepest sleep

Where you are
There I always will be
