To wake and remember a dream
A dream once slept away
In a heroic effort swept away
Onto a broken bridge
Nothing left to save
Hoping for the best outcome
Reaching to get a grip on life
So innocent with a need to evolve
Too young to fall so far down
Into an open space of nothingness
Surrounded by rails and walls
Shadows of so much despair
Appearing in the night
Reflected from rays of light
Silhouettes of whatnots
Sealed in a broach
Locked in a locket
Carve by one who wrote
In ink and quill
Lines to be filled
One word at a time
In bold and black font
Influenced thoughts
Of the meaning
Promts careful attention
