Take Me By The Hand

Suzanne Mondoux · 7 October 2020

What a strange feeling to know no different To see nothing but what is there And to sense anything but the life you want Take me by the hand to where I want to be Walk me to this place no one has ever seen Where is it Who wants it Does it exist

How is it that such a place was created in my mind Could it be that I was there before Did you take me by the hand there once And I can’t recall the journey Did I walk it alone Did I chart my own course Did I follow the stars, the sunrise and sunset Was it life that took me by the hand to a place far beyond my imagination

Was I too small to walk alone Or was I too frightened to see this alone I remember holding my hand out Asking you to take me by the hand to somewhere new Somewhere beyond the confines of what I knew Beyond, just beyond And there I was I found myself standing somewhere I didn’t know or recognized Yet I felt at home I had been here before I was all too young to never look back from which I came

I held my hand out again Take me by the hand One more step beyond right off the cliff There I was beyond taking me by the hand Right where I was meant to be
