what could that be

so many names and I will use them all
of a sudden I can't remember a single day
walking into the light
went dim and there you stood
underneath the canopy
covering the earth with a layer or two
might keep you warm for now
what about later on
things will change what you don't know
into something you will know
keeping you in the highest of regards
given to few of us
before our eyes were opened
this time told me to ignore
the thoughts of last and
and to know that the last
will not come for so long
my friend staying silent and soon
returning again and again
finding out slowly
this is your home
and you may leave
always to return
back up a step or two
much out there out where it
don't make any sense at all
we have is what we are
still trying to figure out
what that could be. . .
