Youthless Poet S

Youthless Poet(S)
Lost lonely shadows
Cast and rise
Sunken hungry empty
Lowered eyes
Graying under aging skies.

Lost in translation
Shovel in tow
Just relics and fossils
Still deeper you go.
[                          
                                   .]

Now gazing up 
All you see is a star
And the distance between you
... Is all that you are.
