one single silent fate of frozen
gazes crossed while shadows cast
an endless wave, this waking moment
ripples through a sunset's past

these present thoughts, unfinished sessions
left within this sullen soul
indignant from these painful lessons
learned through this intrinsic goal

to reach that strongly sought endeavor
never lost, perhaps in time
could we feel different, would we ever
see if those old stars still shine

the question crossed my mind
