Along the way
The rolls we’d play
The king and queen
the naves were preened
The blacksmith’s cars
Fans and stars
Love professed
Who’s the best
That’s how it went
To school we’re sent
On our own
Seeds are sown
Should conform
Loyalties torn
Get the feel
Chase ideals
Party break
Tough to wake
Hard knocks teach
School and streets
With two began
The bliss plan
In work we wallow
Children follow
Can it last?
It goes too fast
Rolls will change
Hearts are pained
Nothing keeps
Who needs sleep?
Lost a role
Empty soul
Living great
Truth comes late
Holding passion
Different fashion
There’s still time
More to find
Less to bear
We’re Halfway there
Work is done
The spirit’s won
The flesh is weak
A home we seek
To house the soul
Without the roles
A closing sigh
Loved ones cry
A spirit’s flight
Toward the light.
