Reminiscing in this time machine of life I'm in,

What direction should I go, where should I begin.

The serenity of life has change to so much pain,

The desire to live has begun to show it's strain.

The loss of mortal spirit that was in my soul,

The aura of love once so bright, has lost its glow.

Do I have strength to use this time machine in life I see,

Or should I let go to seek immortal peace that will be.
