A Lonely Road
By Cory S.N. LaViska

Darkness sets in and clouds fill the sky
The evening waits patiently, life passes by
Off in the distance, she stands in a dress
She bears not a smile, her hair is a mess
Timid and restless with nowhere to turn
There’s so much to see and so much to learn
Go to her. Go! Don’t think with your mind
Think with your heart and see what you find
Step through the fog, breathe the cold air
The scenery changes…the girl isn’t there
A vision that seemed so alive and surreal
Is left for the darkness of night to conceal
Did it all go away when we gave up our youth?
Has destiny failed in its moment of truth?
Are all of our dreams meant to wither and die?
Or will we find light, through the tears that we cry?
