Pensive Mood

        Ageless,

or so it seems

as I look back on all life's dreams

and wonder where they went.

It certainly wasn't meant

to be that way...

having yesterdays' dreams a joke

that drift away in smoke

as I stood by, helplessly

and let it be...

Could I have changed

the way they went

and made a little bigger dent

in life if I had had more heart?

Should I have made a brand new start?

Where did I fail?

And when opportunity knocked

why had I locked

my door?



        Well... it really doesn't matter anymore.

I'm past that stage in early age

when I thought I gave it all my best,

'cause now it's time

for this old heart to rest.
