Walking Back

The moon savored the day... When darkness poured away... Chills that crawl with motivation... Bittersweet thoughts of desperation... I stare down a road where no color has a place... Where only my eyes could draw and trace... A picture of brightness where music plays... Still black and white curtains paint the day... A song in the distance to far away to hear... Faint whispers of dreams left to burn without fear... I continue to walk as the lights go dim... Back to a place where I had long ago been...
