Forever Young (In Explore)
Sunset at Polo Beach, Maui, Hawai'i
Milestones
Caught between the past and now
Torn by who I was,
and who I want to be
Too much buried, held within
the silence deep inside
A life adrift
Trying to remember
how to dream
Hoping there to find what’s real,
beneath the layers of me
Empty years are not enough,
they beg to be redeemed
A futile search for wisdom
in so many yesterdays
Sifting through the cracked and broken
pieces of the past
Echoes of those memories
chase ghosts within the walls
While tomorrow tries to whisper hope
of songs to still be sung
Note:
The words in the poem are mine, but the title of the post comes from this song, which was an 'anthem' of sorts for my friends and I in high school, and even all these MANY years later is still a favorite of mine. Although it resonates much differently now than it did back then...
