My depressed mind takes me back to a time

That time of great emotion and change

That time, so long ago

A strange moment I would know

---

Literal otherworld messages

deep and moving transgressions

passion for all existence

much inner resistance

ultimate finale

---

Hard choices

in the swooping fast lane

most daunting river of silver

your soul with ever deliver

until you see

the here and now

you take the bow

maybe a fall

deep hurting wall

inside

---

The hero did not need testing

but he did a lot of resting

those days

and those nights

and all of those internal fights

for release

a time long ago

when the hero took the brave move…

…and let go

8 years ago.
