The Man in the Moon
by Thomas K. HuntWhat ever happened to the man in the moon?
Years ago days moved slower in June
Lines in reflections
Lines on my face
Connecting lines that stretch from place to place
No one knows of the sight from these eyes
It's been my own
All the truth and the lies
Life just happens with each passing day
You know the feeling
But can't see it slip away
Fond memories from the time of yesteryear
When days were long
Filled without fear
Responsibility is a harmful infliction
It feeds on your life with great conviction
It steals your innocence
Robs you of time
Through it all it's just you and your mind
What ever happened to the man in the moon?
He just faded away
He left too soon
I've heard it said you can never go back
The further you go you get further off track
You need to realize that we all just fade away
Like the man in the moon
And a lazy summer day

| Posted by Anne Engelen on 04/02/03 at 06:19 AM "The futher you go you get futher off track" I like to believe the opposite though. The further one goes, the further you'll get on your path, the close you'll get to your final destination.
Wonderful read though! |
