Unknown

I feel like I've been long-lost,
Into the wind, I was tossed.

I remember not my life before here,
Was it a life of fear?
Did I shed a tear?
Oh, make me remember my life before here.

Was it a life of love?
Was I from far above?
Did I see more than I see?
"Help me to know," is my plea.

Oh, is there more I could do?
Is the life I know the one that I knew?
The memories I have are but few,
Tell me if you can, please tell me true.

Wait! I see a light in the distance,
Beckoning to me without hindrance.
It is in a free-floating state.
It tells me to follow and not be late.
I must not, for now I see and hear,
It is a wraith of fear.

Now I must run away,
In this place I must not stay.
Away from evil I must steer,
As I do, it will disappear.

I find myself alone again,
Seems like I'll never win.

I wish someone would let me know,
What was my life? How did it go?
As my present life swings to and fro,
My former life is what I need to know.

How did I happen upon this Earth?
Did my life begin at birth?
Or did I live a long time and happen to chance,
And land in a body to make my entrance?

Did I come from a land afar?
Did I descend from the stars?
Did I come from a distant land?
Did I live near the sand?
Did I come from the sea?
Help me remember please.

I wish I knew more about my life.
It gives me so much strife.
It makes me wonder what I could be,
If only someone could help me.

But, until I truly know,
This life of mine will keep on the go.
