I'm chasing a dream
Out of reach
In front of me
I stumble forward
Reaching out
But still, I come up empty
I run away from me
Out of time
Just memories
I stumble forward
Reaching out
But still, I come up empty
Regret and heartache
Trace a path
My footprints in the sand
But time and tide
will wash away
The time I've never had
So goodbye and farewell to me
I'll live the future you'll never see
– SR Romney 2023
We are born as uncertainties
With futures we can’t know
They’re full of possibilities
Of many ways to go
As the years keep moving forward
Our path may not be clear
If we don’t choose one to move toward
The best will disappear
So make your choice, and make it well
For when you must ascend
Good or bad, there’s no way to tell
Until you reach the end
– Shaman Romney 2019
I tried to embrace the future,
But I couldn’t find a good way to do it.
Because not matter how hard I tried to reach it,
It was always a day away.
-Shaman Romney 2015
