As the mind slips back into white noise
And meandering plains of abstract thought.
The zenith has long since faded
Dwells far over the horizon
Keeps its alliance with the confidence of youth
And the bright palette of discovery.
Always in motion, days face inward
With the here and the now.
Barely seconds for sentiment
Pathways of belief eroded by doubt.
We filter out ambition
Paint it over with faint excuses.
The heart still craves but the head presides
Bandaged in reality, protected from self.
Only in the darkness does the choral voice sing
Dancing through sleep with the offer of hope.
As the faint glow of dawn creeps into the room
We shrug off our dreams and they crumble to dust.

Tick, tock, time steals another second
As the mind slips back into white noise
And meandering plains of abstract thought.
The zenith has long since faded
Dwells far over the horizon
Keeps its alliance with the confidence of youth
And the bright palette of discovery.
Always in motion, days face inward
With the here and the now.
Barely seconds for sentiment
Pathways of belief eroded by doubt.
We filter out ambition
Paint it over with faint excuses.
The heart still craves but the head presides
Bandaged in reality, protected from self.
Only in the darkness does the choral voice sing
Dancing through sleep with the offer of hope.
As the faint glow of dawn creeps into the room
We shrug off our dreams and they crumble to dust.
