For Zoe…

Zoe is my friend, and it turns out we’re in very similar places in life: she’s just finished school and is going onto to further education, I’ve just finished college and about to head out on my gap year. However, at the moment, we’re both waiting for these new adventures to happen and looking back on the ones we’ve already had. I wrote a song called “Between Chapters”, which is all about the tension of anticipating the future and letting go of the past. So here are the lyrics (dedicated to Zoe):

Is this the start, or is this the end?

I feel pulled in both directions;

The challenge of letting go

And the invitation to move on.

I’ve crossed the finished line,

But the race is about to begin.

Caught between the chapters

Of a book that’s still being written.

Tying up loose ends

And making new connections.

This time has a purpose, a reason:

To rest, to prepare, to be filled, to be sent out.

Where do I go from here?

Where do I go from here?

The path winds on,

But my feet won’t move.

I look over my shoulder

And all I can see…is home.
