Forward!

Forward! Moving slowly, moving surely
Heading toward the future, you and I
Healing, revealing, ourselves to each other
Always truthfully, never with a lie.

Questions occurring daily, hourly
Answers appearing, but not as quickly.
Minds full of questions, never answers
Words reveal themselves to us thickly.

Who are we, what are we doing
How did we get to this place?
Is there something that will be revealed?
Or is it as plain as the nose on my face?

Why do things happen the way that they do
Why are tears shed over the littlest things?
Who can decide what is important?
Who knows what tomorrow brings?

Why would we travel this unknown road
Heading toward who knows what
If we didn’t have some sense of peace
That at the end is what we sought?

Do we need an explanation
For every misplaced turn?
Is there a need to understand
Every lesson that is learned?

Can we just accept our fate
And bravely move on ahead?
Trusting that the eventual outcome
Will not be something to dread?

Are we confident enough in our sight
To know that we truly cannot see
Just what is around every turn
And what will happen eventually?

Do we have enough trust in each other
And enough faith in what will be
That we can walk hand in hand
Toward the future, you and me?
