Awakening



Old times have burned and gone,
Gentle winds will clear your space,
To walk your way, feeling alone,
To get there at your own pace.

Should you expect from one person,
To fill all dreams and passion,
Life or nature was not meant that way,
Cinderella's Prince swung it in a big way.

The romantic in me will hope,
The sarcastic will just cope,
You make the life choices that define,
Your future journey, one more time.
