with a certain graveness

he turned his lean, cadaverous face

away from the quiet garden lake


it reflected the light of the bright moon

and the lost ambitions of a child he once knew


an astronaut, to fly into space

to set foot in a different place

to be far away from the Earth's endearing yet deadly maze


sometimes youth is not forever

and sempiternal doesn't exist


in the two years that passed

it seemed like hundreds had


you could see it in his face 

and the way he slowly turned away with grace


that could only have piled up

through countless years of sorrowful and distraught days
