doing everything
needed to survive --
the 'make a living'
compromise
those were times
lived awake
losing dreams
for life's sake
lost visions
life and verve
never enough
nerve
what felt right
needed bold
instead dreams
put on hold
there still
red light flashing
answer waiting
vision thrashing
wonder star
radiance spent
life living
seasons rent
grass in shadows
spring, summer, fall
din of industry
dreams still call
