we drove
our minds
into the void
of freedom

soulless
surrendering all awareness
of who we are
who we have always been
we drove

what was left
will always
wreak havoc
upon the weak

the kind
the gentle
could never
sustain us

all is lost
all is lost
until time itself
gives way

our dreams
are all we have now

bolstered only

by borrowed moments
they sail away
like seaweed
caught
in never-ending eddies
of unexpected truths
