										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Faces that once<br />
Were crisp in my head,<br />
Now are dull,<br />
And diffused through the crowd.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Names that once<br />
Surged emotions with sound,<br />
Have now slipped through<br />
The sands of my beach.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Memories with sentiment<br />
Somewhere lost,<br />
As if never was,<br />
What was the point?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The time of the hour clicks on,<br />
It passes me by, tantalizing me to catch it,<br />
But is untouchable.</p>
<p>Seasons in our lives press on, towards and beyond.<br />
Childhood realism is slowly stripped away<br />
To an earthly realm,<br />
To be conceived, but never achieved, from this point on.</p>
<p>Dreams that once drove life,<br />
Now bring suffering to drive life’s dreams.</p>
<p>Limits placed on the virgin mind,<br />
Now surpassed,<br />
beyond what used to be understanding .<br />
The hand and the mind betraying one’s own heart,<br />
My own greatest adversary being myself,<br />
Misguiding and misleading me away from my destination,<br />
Or so I think.</p>
<p>I step through portals to reach my own world,<br />
Trying to keep a consistent pace and direction,<br />
But not even knowing my way, only my aura.</p>
<p>Time and life go on, and stand still for no one,<br />
All I can do is steer and direct it into my inner self,<br />
From reality to dreams, and from dreams to reality.</p>
