The Beginning Of The End Of The Beginning Again....

The Beginning Of The End Of The Beginning Again....

A Poem by James Takeo Panton

 

Have I not been down this road before?
These maddened dreams that fuel the fires within?
All these things I have done before
And yet I will again
Dreams and hopes and foolish words
All I utter, and all I speak
And work and pray and think some more
For these answers that I seek
Has this been some strange meditation
Beyond the west I travelled
And sought the truths that I did seek
And watch them be unravelled
Is this the fear I face right now
Is this the doubt inside me
Is this the nagging, gnawing dark
That resides beside me?
But I find hope in all my ways
The tiger that lifts the mountain
I shall eat from the dinner tables of the world
I shall drink from all its fountains
And I shall travel near and far
To there and back again
To be that which I could never be
And yet, I always am
To find the faith within myself
To resume this master plan
To be the best me that I can be
To never grow faint of heart
That miles shall not impede me
They shall not keep us apart
Maybe hope, probably luck
And tears and sweat and pain
With all this fuel, my fires burn
I shall begin again..............
