Trace

by

Thomas Granger

The future is so distant, seeming not to arrive
Passed just like a ghost into the night
Forgotten with the memory, not long it will survive
Misguided souls who boast they are all right

Taken in the moment, there's no way to make it work
It doesn't have the strength to carry on
Suddenly seem reckless, going to go berserk
Waiting for the sunshine and the dawn

Remembering faded thoughts have almost disappeared
Not wanting for the good ones to disperse
Having little choice whether somehow time has steered
Around the obstacles that were the worst

Energy that's spent on further echoes, cry in vein
Trying to retrieve the sound now lost
Make the clouds that thunder start to release pouring rain
Turning into ice with winter's frost

Wish there was some hope around the corner, at the end
Travelling to reach that final place
Wanting for the time enough, time enough to spend
Vanishing again without a trace
