Moving On

Standing at the edge of the forest

Looking out

The way to civilization blocked

All those I knew have ventured forth

But I remain

Feral and isolated

Unable to survive in their new world

I still hear them sometimes

Calling out to me

Encouraging me to join in

But they are gone

Their voices just an echo

A reminiscence of what once was

Back when we were the same

Moving on

Forgetting the shared paths

Rejecting our history

Relegating us to the dusty corners of their minds

Never to be dwelt on

I am fading into the mist

Ever lost in the wilderness

Of our discarded past

Now only I remember where we came from

There’s no one else left to care

Gathering my memories like a cloak

I turn

Shrouded by what once was

And slip into my future

Alone
