Change of life
Change of Life
My life has lately taken a divergent path,
I have taken a fresh road,
far from the impassioned wanders of my youth.
Today I look for the truth,
not the sated feeling,
which once sent my senses reeling.
I paid the cost,
with many years lost,
for my pander locked in amber.
