Does it all wind up just to wind down
is that the big secret after all
does the universe expand to contract
does everything rise just to fall
What am I waiting for anyway
at this point it’s just another night
that passes like a slow storm front
there’s nothing at all in it to fight
Kingdom Come is calling my name
all the angels heard on high
the whisper of illumination
fading like the long goodbye
Fading into contemplation
of the oceans of my youth
all the memories that drowned
the ocean as the final truth
Someday at the gates of Glory
I’ll find out how much that I recall
I’ll find out if the wind down
Just starts another wind up
after all
