Late night poemish thoughts

The memory of times past

Within lies shadows cast

Of bridges burned 

And lessons learned

Leaving a heart that aches

As snow soon melts away

The ashes slowly decay

But scars remain

As does the pain

Then rivers flow to lakes

For nothing will ever be the same

But there is no one left to blame

You made a choice

You used your voice

One yes and everything changed

For one yes, is a billion no's.

A billion open doors close 

No more chase

No more race

One path becomes arranged

Within lies the question 

The power of suggestion

What is the absolute "truth"

And where can I find the "proof"

Is life an obligation

Or a simple calculation 

Maybe a concept never conceived

Or a power never believed

For love is a strange word

A beautiful song rarely heard

An idea that draws attention

But is stuck with suspension

When will we find the depth we crave
