Expectations
in a time before now
when we still had our youth
and the world was uncomplicated
we looked out with bright eyes
and knew that it was ours
for the taking
then we grew up
and our lives became everything
we swore they would not
over run with details
that have thusfar
kept us from our rightful place
we are on the sidelines
passively watching others
as they move forward
with their vision
of what reality should be
there is still time
but the sands continue to run
not caring about our life's mission
nor the fact that there may not be
enough time to accomplish it
