"Next"

next in sight
near dear to me
times past
they see

youth lost found
as most
enter inner roads
long gone call

map veins
traveled far
from generations
gone waiting

visions haunt me
not knowing
those who
connected my dots

nest formed from
earth spun threads
surviving in air
what is next

beyond next
to the next
and the next
nine lives

silently
no ripple
past explained
on the choice

still foolish
age gave hope
restless
who are they

thick fog
covers faces
stay near
next
