A Distant Stare
When taken unaware, some long-forgotten care
may take us to a place outside of time and space,
a place of memories or dreams.
Removes us from the present tense
and takes us to a place from whence
we see our life and are amazed
at long forgotten hopes once razed,
now raised again.
Or we may face with sad regret
that we so easily forget
the hopes and dreams of former days
and meet the future with a gaze
absent new dreams.
