Up to You

Bring It Back

By Jake LoPrestiPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

Bring it back down now to the voice

Back to the child

Back to the choice

Back to the place where we all began

Can you see?


Can you stand?


Knowing the truth in depth to that


Where we've been


Now where we're at


Did you think we saw it coming?


Did we force it?


Push while running?


Where is the space we sought to be?


Away from the light


Away from me?


Can you see that I am you?


You are all


And they are too


Can you breathe air to your lungs


Feel that life flow


Its just begun


Its always the first time that you see


Its that first thought


When you first breathe


You have come to see this now


Beyond all choice


No where no how


Still you chose to come this far


Will this be it


Remain a star?


Or do you think that you will grow?


Travel through time


Truly gain control


Will you become your own cosmos


Beyond a vision of light


A lighthouse and host


Its all come down now to this


Will you progress?


Or regress and sit?


Are you prepared to find your way?


Or do you choose fear?


And choose to stay?


There's a world you've never known


You can't turn back though


Once it's shown


Would you see its knowledge and eat its fruit?


Or sit there in your hunger?


The choice is up to you
