I mourn the passing
Of the unchosen future
Regretting deviations from sacred path
Transforming transcendence to mere radiance
I sing eulogies
For the never weres
Bury bright moments
That beckoned warmly
Spurned dreams
Upset by harsh stark
Responsibilities and fears
I mourn the passing
Of unchosen futures
Unraveling quantum joy
In the graveyard of dreams
