A thousand years
Intrude into my consciousness
And linger
We have no way of grasping
And holding on to
Our deepest longings
We see the stars
And wonder
When does our journey begin
To forsake all
Is never easy
Even when
You have nothing to forsake
Winding down
Growing older but not old
I wonder
What thoughts lie ahead
Will victories
Seem like defeats
I'm running out of lines
But never out of words
