All That Is Dear

What has past and what will come
air rushing into your lungs
as you notice where you're from
and where you will be flung
you step into the clearing
with a foot brave and unfearing
of what has past and while will come

now the next, now the next
the distance gets nearer
yet you never arrive
but thats OK, because you are here
for now, but not for ever
nothing to fear, all that is dear
you have with you here

You smile and you laugh
no need to walk fast
this place is so simple and grand
easy to love, easy to understand
the life you always thought of
here where you are,
the places you've been,
and the places you'll go
