Eastern Skies

Wandering almost 
all my life
took a break
to be a wife

Woke up one morn
in deep sunlight
something inside
took to flight

Soaring fast
keep on going
right or wrong
never knowing

Feel it grow
once just a seed
heading eastward
a soul of greed

What secrets
do you hold
how will my life
then unfold

Can you hear
memories calling
hold my heart
no more falling

Looking back
at childhood lies
moving forward
to Eastern skies...
