Thoughts for the night

The night is calm and uncommonly still,
Overcast sky and a midnight chill,
I sat outside of my apartment today,
To sort out the things my mind has to say..

Writing the thoughts of a sundered dreamer,
Of hopes and dreams of an age long ago,
The confused thoughts of a mind that wander,
Searching for peace that it had lost so..

Recovering what is lost takes time they say,
Never mentioning the price that i have to pay,
Salvaging a life from the wreckage of old,
Trying to relight a fire that has gone cold..
