sparkles in the eyes fade away to blips of occasional light,
once was many but now just reminders being not bright,
seeing in others the brightness so much it ignites their souls,
moving ahead in leaps to reach their distant goals,
watching from far now in this place with only a good view,
as the passing time is the only thing that makes anything new,
pressure to perform when nothing happens in the end,
with the road ahead unknown what is around the bend,
no gas to fill a tank that does is rusting away,
remembering only times in the past back to a better day.
