Fading Memories
There are ripples moving along the way
Making mini waves flowing on the sea
They go down and away from where I sway
Brilliant, the moon shows that I am empty
Piercing more wavelets as it goes along
Until there’s only chaos which leaves me
I don’t see the ripples here to prolong
Nothing at all but dead space exists there
Not a sound carries across the large throng
Space is vast holding true to what I dare
As I get older the wavelets don’t form
Causing this space to go and find despair
I can’t think straight now, I’m fogged up inside
There’s not a breeze, it is calm here besides
