Emptiness
Nothing but the stillness of all
That I see
I've always know these streets
I see both faces of new
And ones I knew
From Long Ago

Sometimes
We reminisce about the Past
Smiling about what was
But it is hard to find that same pleasure
Paths may have grown
In each direction
For my friends to settle
In strange new lands

I took a path in which
Helps me see farther into the Past
Than I have walked on this Earth
And nations have formed to my feet
Every step I took

I try my hands at arts in every form
And flora begin to sprout
The tears of those I helped
Are now rivers which nourish the land
And wash away every worry

I come home
To show those I thought of family my work
Show them the lives I helped
The buildings I *****
The fossils I discover

Yet
By their presence
It all erodes away
In rains of starved acid
And disappears quicker than I can see

It has yet to stop
I have tried to keep the peace
But
I crave to watch them burn

I seek lost family
They tell me to stop
I build fortresses
They tear down the wall
I go to fly to new lands
They ******* out of the sky

I guess it is time to say
Goodbye
