Bright Space
by Dane Allred
Keys
We wander through life wondering why we are here.
Walking down our own road
We look for answers to the many questions
Filling our minds.
What is the key to finding our purpose?
When we left the Bright Space
We forgot all that we knew.
We forgot we were all together
Waiting for a chance to be here now.
Hoping to accomplish all we were sent to do
Hoping to remember we are all working toward the same goal – returning to the Bright Space
So we can all share what we have learned.
We knew all there was to know before we came here.
But unless we tried this stuff called life on our own, That shared experience was not enough.
As we realized we needed to experience
This world on our own,
The key to our success was to forget all that we had known.
To venture on our own.
To find our own way.
But we are here together
You may be the key to my success
Or I may be your key
To unlocking the reason you are here.
Billions of individual stories circling on this spinning marble
Wondering about our futures
Considering our part
Hoping to make a difference we lived here.
But remembering we were once together
Might be the key to end the fighting
The tension
The conflict.
Problems we encounter need our solutions
And the best news is our solutions
Are fellow travelers with us.
Turn to those around you to find the key
To those thorny problems you may be facing.
The key to your success may be only a step or two away.
One or two steps in physical space
Or a step or two searching the wide world.
If you wander wondering why you are here,
Look around yourself as you walk that road.
I was there with you.
You were there with me.
We are here to learn all that we can learn
And return to know all that we can know.
