As the day ends

As the day ends

Completing the events

Now sitting and reflecting

In the day’s mirror

Time not fully utilized

The heart has a small emptiness

This may be bigger

For it never really has concerned the thought

Goals are empty when unshared

Alone is the walk on this path

Could be worse as many would say

Past ways may have brought this

No regret for time lasts. Not others who shared

Hopes seem like a pipe dream

While the young sparkle the hollow words of forever

Like the childhood stories

Those always have happy endings

In the mature years the truths fall from these

We all see the man behind the curtain

As the day ends
