Stepping Stone

Thinking back to then I stared at myself
At my reflection in my thumbnail
Illuminated by the thoughts of now
Held by the light of a cell phone’s blinking panel
 
Yeah I thought that it felt quite surreal
To see myself in myself and it made me feel
Like I did when I was eight or nine:
Thought I’d know himself if I passed the time
Then I heard the backyard’s humming breeze
In my kingdom down in the pine trees
And I realized how I had grown
How that kingdom was a stepping stone
 
I made friends with the other animals
And spoke fluently their colloquials
I made laws of pine and wilt and youth
I was the king of wilted flowers and hopeful truths
Night and day I held my kingdom’s rule
Except for dinner time and sometimes school
Even summer’s sweat and winter’s freeze
Couldn’t shake that humming, backyard breeze
 
All the colors now have changed in shade
Nothing ever really stays the same
They say, “the world is big the world is small”
But I’ll never get to see it all
Gotta take my view with a grain of salt
 
It was cold the night when I went back
Down through the trees to the old wooden path
And I heard my reflection in the wind
Heard her beckon me to dream again
And it felt too quick to fall from youth
And honest hopes and hopeful truths
So I sat down on my throne as king
And there was a wink and a smile from the wind in the trees
 
I’ll quit kicking it on Saturday
Start anew to try and find my way
Though the spectrum shifts and seems to dull
It’s a catalyst that soon will dawn
Keep me singing as I’m dying on
