Consolation

flowers fade
as we walk near
      a rapid river
          the powers of 
night
        Envelop our consciousness
      Dreams are the playing 
         cards we use 
              to gamble with
           eyes fill with 
   tears
as we watch the ship 
of reality
          leave for foreign shores
No, we will not have 
         an easy trip
But in the end
        we'll take solace
in the fact that we live 
     on the edge for a time
                and do not regret it
