'Reaching The Summit'

A journey from the point of entry back to the exit door
A wheel within a wheel, a circle round,
A simple puzzle turned into something complex for sure
The logical mind, the snapping hound

In the waste land we live our mortal life
Trapped by the glamours and enchantments which lie all around
Taught by misguidance we exist in strife
There is no hope, it cannot be found

Faced by impossible fears,
Separate, alone, and imprisoned in mortal capture
Three score and ten mortal years
So few realising the reason behind the rapture

Remember the early years, a constant fearless adventure
The answer lies there, the entry into this experience
We leave by the same door,
That which we seek remains within us all through this experience

We fail to look, we are taught to 'grow up' and 'mature'
But we forget, we submit to the arrival of our fears
We are distracted and misled for sure
The answer lies in those early years
