Have you ever found yourself in a dream
……………following a path that seems familiar
……………a rutted winding way surrounded by uncertainty?
You pass through shadows of the forest
You cannot see ahead, but continue
……………trusting what you must
As you make your way, do you ask why?
Dare you follow into the night?
Will you find what you are looking for
……………where things fit into place
……………make sense, familiar faces
……………answers to your questions?
