Shade 53: Twilight on the Shores of Purpose

I walk this beach at twilight
And around my feet float in
The broken dreams of untold souls
Who once had fire within

I walk in their desolation
In their goals left incomplete
Drifting without direction
And tickling the soles of my feet

I tread upon their dignity
Beneath the silent moon
Looking through their shattered dreams
Hoping I never find my own
