The Path is the one we are walking, The future bends to the now, The past falls behind as a shadow And fades like a song in the air. Yesterday has forgotten us, And we haven’t met tomorrow yet; Our story is told in still-wet ink, On pages we are writing now. Oh, the past flows away Like rain in a stream, It shifts from form to form; The future steps bravely on, And marches toward a distant door. The song we sing is built on this breath, And this one. And this. The Path is the one we are walking. We sing our future now. by Robert Bode
