Ticket 2 Ride

The future me and the present you

Bending time forward and back

Trying to walk in my old footprints

While composing a new soundtrack

—

The future me is not shiny or new

Perspicacity and stumbling

Millions of tentative steps

Now worldwise and humbling

—

Temporal days for sure

Burning sunsets, luminous mornings

Longing for days of future past

Ignoring the travelers warnings

—

This time around, I want familiar

For everything in its place

I dreamed of beginnings

But memories are efface
