Ticket 2 Ride

I place my hope in tomorrow

The calendar will turn

Will it be happiness or sorrow

To satisfy what I yearn

—

So many years, so many faces

This journey of a million strides

Yet, a diminishing amount of traces

Taken with the solemn tides

—

Is it procrastination

To add it to a future time

An untold destination

Another mountain to climb

—

Can the clock reverse

Erasing bits and pieces of me

My story in chapter and verse

Riding the waves out to sea
