There's a fondness I've forgotten... <br />But friendly nature still persists <br />Trying to burn a dying Flame <br />of something I hope exists <br /> <br />Vibrant colors surround me <br />they carry me places I've never seen <br />Oh the roads and waves and faces- <br />My heart forever changed it's beating <br />But is life just a dream? <br /> <br />Forcing hope to life always <br />in this dreary, fading world <br />Losing track if hope is real <br />Because I see what has gone away <br /> <br />The lights illuminated paths disguised <br />Filled with masks of painted faces <br />But I can never reach these places... <br />Pale and Uninterested- I'll see my demise...<br /><br />Darren Tyler Howard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/off-the-lighten-path/
