Ticket 2 Ride

Everything goes away
Fading inside the disappearing shade
Of elusive memories made
Moments from any average day

Focused as an electron microscope
Time will stamp your legacy
While everything in view will flee
Create a residuum of hope

I wish I could remember
Absent a name, just the face
Once known, now no trace
Gone like the last of December

Savoring the last energy of twilight
That time again to say goodbye
Vibrant colors now darken the sky
On a wings of shadows we take flight
