Unfamiliar Ground

The years which came and gone I was to face With many days of waste without a care The motionless time I cannot replace Leaves a cloak with shredded holes I must wear I chose to walk upon an uncleared path With nothing there to guide along the way To contemplate the years of aftermath To understand the reasons that outweigh I am content with choices that I've made Through each traveled year of life, I found In a century born I could not evade My soul was trapped in unfamiliar ground The world I found was far beyond my mind I yearned for something there I could not find 1/8/18
