disillusionment, no longer enlightened, misty fog has fallen, visibility low, 1 mi. no longer clear skies, eyes reaching out to the horizon, sunsets across large bodies of water, simple pleasures, lost and forsaken, a pitter pattering, footsteps, footfalls, drive and ambition, around the corner, a shop there, ding, escapes, no longer escapes, going away is no longer going away, compass needles pointing nowhere but north, guessing, just assuming, facts, truths, proofs without proving, unassuming, glancing, fleeting, surface dwelling, hydrofoil, skimming faster, less friction, goal is closer.
