Stardust
Lost at the crossroads of my expectations,
In the years of disenchantment,
My life remains a falling tear;
It is not for I that I do weep, but for all.
Is there no disgrace in emotion?
Or shall we all remain transfixed in malaise?
Though they say time wistfully swirls,
And I lament the err of our ways.
I am the dog that finally caught
Its tail, and learned nothing from the experience.
I have drank the wine of rose pedals and stardust,
And listened as the nightengale sang harmonious melodies
In the fields of gold.
Of tales untold
We are but sillohuettes upon the horizon
Filled with uncertainties
And I with the solitude
Which I have come to embrace.
I have walked many years
In my blind quest for truth,
And will dilligently continue to
As daylight last sparks,
Until my heart ceases its fervent pulsing
As fleeting life unfurls
