Faces

Faces

To see beyond the looking glass
And know there's more than just a face
The present, future, and the past
Are written in with lines of grace
Whose silent stories we never know
The secrets that we're never told
Behind the mask a broken soul
With dreams that only came to be
Through sleep we've soared on borrowed wings

Till morning brings us home again
To walk the path of winding roads
A journey to a world unknown
Where time is never given free
It costs us what we've come to know
An aging face , and wisdom's grace
Comes to those whose hearts believe
Through love and pain
We dream the same
Just travel down a different road
