    Wandering the hallways of my mind.

    I am lost.

    Searching,

    Familiarity and mystery lie waiting around every corner. But which corner?

    Wandering.

    Shadows of a face I once knew so well,

    Figures shrouded in the mists of time,

    Fading beyond the reach of an outstretched arm.

    Wandering.

    The soft patter of little feet,

    The gentle curve of a reluctant smile,

    The warm tears of unkind years,

    Wandering.

    Wandering the hallways of my mind.

    Wandering,

    Wandering,

    Wandering.
