dark, empty road;

dark, empty road
on a warm summer evening
a breeze from full open windows
a symphony of crickets off in the distance.

drive down, down, down
the open road ahead
scattered lights around
perhaps they are stars
or fireflies?

a road that leads to many places
left and right turns
where is the destination
or is destiny many more miles up the road?

the end, the future;

it is over
the end came all too quickly
even though the journey lasted an eternity.

and now that we stand at the edge
we look out across the blank slate
there lies our future
clear and unblemished.

let's start writing our next chapters.

life and time;

it's amazing to see your childhood friends
and where they are in their lives right now.
the possibilities are endless
as are their realities.

the choices they have made
sometimes in the right
and sometimes in the wrong.
and comparisons are always made
it is inevitable.

what once was is now lost
innocence and carefree moments
all but a pool of memories
like the ones you once dreamed of.

life and time, two extraordinary aspects of the world
like the cool crisp breeze on an autumn evening
it is ever changing.
life moves on with time
and time can alter our lives.
