forgotten

howling winds and cars racing

reaching forgotten places

beginning to lose footing

something seeming so sturdy

wiping sweat and tears from forgotten eyes

wailing away in time with the wind

no one notices the disturbance

forgetfulness has caused

pushing hard never anyone there to receive the gifts

offered in a ceremony with forgotten

practices too many times

been left in the dust    

forgotten wounds start to throb needing attention

none to be given

stole into a forgotten garden

land so barren

nothing of any importance hiding among the sticks

and stones wondering about the man at the window

forgotten sadness coming to his eyes  

nothing is important everything is forgotten

as the man rains on the inside of the glass

seen better nights

days are no better when spent alone and forgotten

wishing on a star unseen

unheard lyrics words spiral through forgotten minds

hearts once held close now forgotten

with the rest and around bends and curves

setting sail somewhere far away         

gone from eyes forgotten

all ready for another journey

and before departure realizing

alone and forgotten. . .
