Dust From Yesterday

the only sound was the wind through the sage it blew icy cold with a whistling rage I zip my jacket but still I shiver against the unknown and what floats downriver I don't sleep and lay wide awake gnawing inside are the thoughts that quake something I don't know and can not understand staring at the rotating blades of the fan love is never based on what is fair we just weren't right, our lives parallel what I wanted before was just a fair shake the scar remains thick from your quick escape fortune looked down and smiled on me faith never lost--I always believed my dreams for tomorrow are realized today all else left behind in the dust from yesterday
