~Steer~

all that
has been
defined
just falls
apart burning
off desire

charred embers
smokes a graying trail
but none
of the paths
were different

don't break
the spell
we were
all someone
else before

shadows bounce onto
the walls
silence is
starting to
leave an echo
stardust falls
on my eyes

I change
shape just
to hide
I can't
do it over
getting older

no differences
in my past
now or never
all you can do
is do it better

I don't
feel like
a spring flower
I feel more
like potpourri

but steer
my stumbles
the day
isn't done
forged in adventure
sealed with abandon
