Traveling in darkness
Every winding road
Always going uphill
Bearing heavy loads
Filling with emptiness
Sadness ruptures heart
Simply seeking healing
Searching for fresh start
Collecting memories
Hope sheds one more tear
Often feeling numbness
Overwhelming fears
Witnessing tomorrow
Been here once before
Every step well-traveled
Waiting at backdoor
Envisioning sunrise
Source of everything
Yesterday forgotten
Knowing peace shall sing
Big Sky Buckeye 
Leaving the past and embracing the peace of today.
