Carrion

If I'd taken the time to write it all down, these dreams my young self drempt; Perhaps among the shadows a reason could be found to help it all come true. As random as the rain on a humid, muggy day, a sentiment of frailty was all that I longed for. And if wondering where the time went would make it all seem fine, then would knowing where the time went make it all sublime. A part of me just won't let go of the fruitless idle past, I'm always preaching, reaching, teaching never loosening the grasp. If for just one day we could be the people we drempt when we were young, Perhaps we'd learn to love this life even for only just one day. And if leaving it all behind would make us that much better, could taking it all right back make us a little bit more human. We never set out to do the things we've come to say and do yet always when we're done we find that nothing's made anew. So if I'd taken the time to write it all down would it help to mend the soul, or would it be another carrion; a part without the whole.
