On the Shores of an Unknown Place

Standing on the shores of some foreign sea.
Endless sand and ocean
Cool and calming breeze
The vastness is wondrous

Twilight time, alone at the edge
Established position from which to observe
Senses set to receive
The messages of forever

A destination from deep within
Made real with the capacity of the mind
A place that is out of reach
You only get one chance

Dwell here in this time, or forfeit all futures
A force beckons a decision. What will it be?
Stay, and give everything to the ultimate source
Move on, and forever plot a different course

The horizon, blue into black
Star gazing, eyes wide
Searching for the answers
Always kept just out of sight

Blues, greens, reds, yellows, and oranges
All spiral, blend and stretch
Painting pictures
Of destinations not yet met

Foreign sounds from the distance, spar for attention
With the imagery all round
Moving pictures presented on some slick canvas
Consumed with abilities not yet found

No sense of time
How long has it been?
Since I last visited these scenes
And all that lives between

The time has now come to journey onward
To give up this place
And search for the answers
That lie behind doors and hide in the shadows.
