Frolic Through a Memory

many have lost sight..
>love as a law, forgotten.
perception of depth askew..

in search of purpose,
truth viewed relative to goal.
>fun submerged in past...
adolescence falls behind,   
as figures make time to pass...

imagination spread thin,
over minds chasing schedules.
conversation lost, with haste,
>poetry, frames the moments.
