Gone

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.
