Ageless Traveler

Atop the clear blue sky, I dreamt once

That I'd graze the clouds on toy wings

Favoring the wind, while indulging its touch

But I lost track of that sight as I grew

My hands reached for the howling breeze

Thinking it meant its wandering calls for me

Answering them now, they've faded to shadows

Dancing in the gentle caress of my tears

As I've realized that wondrous child

That foolish dreamer I was, disappeared

Its mirage haunting my tomorrow

Beckoning me to follow its fading traces

Traveling the ages, the child may've grown

Regardless, his dreams live inside me,

Burning as my blood starts to bloom,

Into the steel bonds binding me to its hope
