lyrics

Vision Song
February 2, 1992

I went walking in the garden of life last night
found an old man sitting under the largest tree
said he was me, years from today
that in his eyes I had become
I looked
but all I saw in his eyes was a blackness
soul eaten by the dark

why do you claim to be what I am
I’ve all my options open to me
you’re but one path I have yet to turn

I waited
as I watched, vision slowly clarified
old man with a comfortable glow behind his eyes
looked at me again, said quietly

but the power was always there
no matter what seems in the real
no option beyond death in final phase
and turning ever inward is on its own
no answer

take what you please – and run
life is ever changing
no final decision but the next one
take what you have and won
for life is always changing

so always up to you
destiny
I hold my so called fate in open hand
and when I now walk in the garden of life
I see myself under the largest tree
or the smallest flower, petal led
despite prognostication

I am my own master
only I control my visions
and when dreams are all that are left to me
still I dream my own direction
my thanks to you, old man of me
for dreams dreamed external or in
in the garden of life –
real enough to show me not the way
there is no way
