Future Perfect World
John Boegehold
Time was moving fast and I had little left to lose
I fled the shadows of my yesterdays
Mapless on my journey trailing stardust from my shoes
Seeking nature’s clues to find my way
Birds are flocking ‘round the trees
Colors splashed across the leaves
Painted by a master’s hand
Sunlight warms the land
Now I walk through fields of clover
Clover rocks and thorns
Straightaway into forever
Toward the place the future’s born
Winding back the clock when I looked inward to explore
By hidden rivers of my life I found
Long-forgotten memories all washed up on the shore
I made my way back to a higher ground
Finding flowers in the weeds
Grateful for this moment’s peace
Longing echoes shape my soul
Life closer to whole
Then one day
He left home
Dreams to chase
Worlds to roam
What if this is heaven
What if this is all there is he cried
I can’t go back
I can’t go back home
What if I’m already
Living life beyond the other side
And can’t go back
Late at night
He counts stars
Some burn bright
Some turn dark
