A road not yet traveled
A smile that stopped time
but for a moment so long ago
yet lasting eternal
A vision I cannot forget
It haunts me to this very day
Who you were before I met you
The person that I once knew
What you became in my absence
Retrospect and hindsight internalized
Clarity obscured in ignorance
Instinct ignored by intellect
Fate is the hunter
And has found us once again
Upon a field we know far too well
Scarred deeply upon distant shores
Victims or kindred spirits honed in battle
searching for truth and meaning
with the hope of a child
It is this question I seek to answer
on a road not yet traveled
but for a moment so long ago
yet lasting eternal
A vision I cannot forget
It haunts me to this very day
Who you were before I met you
The person that I once knew
What you became in my absence
Retrospect and hindsight internalized
Clarity obscured in ignorance
Instinct ignored by intellect
Fate is the hunter
And has found us once again
Upon a field we know far too well
Scarred deeply upon distant shores
Victims or kindred spirits honed in battle
searching for truth and meaning
with the hope of a child
It is this question I seek to answer
on a road not yet traveled
