Isolation

Isolation;

Dreams of the past,

Echoing silently through the night.
Memories of greatness lost in the ether of days gone by.

 

Hopeless regression

Today is today;
and nothing more

Sailing far from home.

 

Yet dream I do of past lives

Grasping things that never come
Simple times lost with age

Dancing drinking playing games

All have gone with the flow of time

I am not who I was but am none the less.

The scars of mistakes have shaped this boy

The man who stands before thee

Silent and calm with nothing to lose

The days lay out before me.

 

With age come other thoughts

Of waste and want and glory

Drifting through the age of dreams

With nothing left to show thee.
