Camino

Sun is breaking through mist at dawn As I climb a hill towards some place I've never been; The silver river is flowing far below me now As I leave behind another town, another temporary home As the seasons change before my passing eyes New leaves appear on the oldest vines They're dancing up to catch the light; With you, my fellow traveller, I'm like a bird in flight Catching thermals to circle and glide deeper into the blue Could I set down my baggage One step at a time and keep walking? Could I learn to be free From the fears that have decreased me And keep growing?
