I looked back into the Iris,
Sometimes life is a whisper in the wind,
Thinking we understand it is as fleeting as trying to grab water..
Just follow the waves, look past the graves,
is life worth living if unfulfilled? Who determines fulfillment?
Looking at the wind, looking at this great sunset,
But, its not the same sunset, not the one I loved and brooded over for years,
This is someone else's sunset,
They're never the same, an out of state sunset is particular,
You reminisce about your lost sunsets, your lost youth,
you forgot where you were going long ago,
you forgot where you belonged long ago,
you can't remember when you were happy last,
you can't look past the looking glass,
Why?
Why?
you ask yourself as your mind looks around the boat and you see the faces all in smiles,
You know them....
They know you...
But they aren't yours...
They don't really know you, the familiarity of a small town is within all of them as they enjoy the day,
You wonder back to your time and look for your inner self...
Those that have that small town familiarity with you...
Then you realize that that time is gone, you will be alone....
No one will truly ever know you.. the time is gone....
You didn't hang on hard enough,.. you let it all go...
Now you are left with nothing.. that's what they don't tell those who try to live there dreams,
Sometimes you lose it all... you just lose it all... so take the moments in...
because its fleeting...
This time. This sunlight, this dream,,, sometimes you fail.
But in the end you must seek the end of the limelight into a sphere of happiness that may not exist.
Maybe one day you will be content... but contentment is not the goal, its never the goal...
True happiness is the goal... So look across the boat and smile your smile and take in the wind as it flows through your friends hair, and remember at one time in life you were there.
Recall it.
take it in...
sometimes in life...
nobody wins....
