Fretful and tethered
Left to wonder
Without a compass
Or guiding light

Unattempted journeys
Haunting regrets
Suns setting
New dawn uncertain

Blurry memories
Hidden secrets
We must outrun
Approaching meteors

Unsuspecting bystanders
Foolish and primitive
Lets us rediscover truths
Of planned anniversaries.
