We lie awake and dream our dreams, letting our thoughts flow like streams, Like mist around the moon, on a warm night in June They vanish. Tick, tock the time rolls around the clock, Slowly but surely fought, lessons, they never seem taught Forgotten. Although changed is expected, it is never fully accepted A frightening contemplation, but a permanent deliberation Such is life. We’re positioned at this conditioned point As time rattles on, like you’re just a pawn In this short game. A careless thought, no longer sought Left alone life a leaf being blown Away in the wind. You can try screaming, just to find meaning But what you desire will soon expire As will it all. Sewing the seam never truly gets rids of the dream A life without strife Would be wonderful The thought of life without good-bye could make one’s heart fly A million miles above, soaring like a dove Away from the world.
