Faded Tracks
Through vast woods of concrete,
my muffled footsteps fall.
Padding down the paths of old,
turned new.
Dark tower's shade hides my tawny coat,
as well any tree.
And the creatures in this modern world,
my passing,
do not see.
Jaws of iron,
eyes of steel,
heart of purest gold.
Gazing out onto the world,
with a wild and fiery soul.
Where have all my fellows gone?
I lost them long ago.
Amidst the bright and flashing lights,
to the giant monsters' roar.
Perhaps around the next corner,
or past some narrow bend,
I'll see their eyes still shining,
and we can sing again.
But my voice has never reached them,
for I never hear them sound.
Drowned out.
In the din of this city.
Lost.
In the noise of this...
'town'.
With a screech all ties are severed,
Nothing good is left.
Still on and on,
I continue...
my sad,
futile,
endeavor.
Wasted time. Wasted breath.
And so we're silenced.
Forever.
