I walk along the darkened streets and think to myself why are there no stars above where have they have gone. I look around and something makes me see different shapes. A giant ship is floating across the skies where is it going I need to know I need to follow it so here I go again Memories of the times gone by is filling my head with the thoughts of people that fell far behind, never seeing what was here on earth. I listen to the silence of my mind burning deep inside me as I would wonder was it really worth the time I gave. It's been a million years since I last heard the ancient sounds, I don't remember what it sounded like, but I recall it being very calm. You used to say that everything will come to an end eventually it felt so somber, but I finally understand it now. The wind wanders in and takes me far beyond the shores of everlasting calm and lasting life and soothes me back to sleep so I can Venture out again into the darkness of my mind and reclaim all the ones that lost their way so very very long ago.
