To each a different journey 
to a core hidden from view
To fathom out the purpose 
for our being here with you
But we could not even make a start 
if the pathway was not true
The end is already beginning 
the last days we bid adieu

This parting’s just the start of things 
as we’ll meet again next day
And recognize the feeling 
that we have on this pathway
So let us try and serve a purpose 
as the books of old do say
and start our duties now 
at the dawn of this decade

A solemn time to come 
as the final hour arrives
As they were not prepared 
not expecting to survive
But we are in the know 
and to our places we will go
To beat the changing climate 
time to meet before the snow

A start in perfect harmony 
with a reason to be true
A beginning where all things are right 
and we can say ‘we knew’
Then left to live together 
our inner journeys - outward seen
The dreams at last realized 
as foretold by the Essene
