remember when we so attracted to empowerment? remember the circus, the spirit itself, like tasting God? remember the flashes before our eyes? remember the black trails, the long walks, that brought us solace? so wrapped up in the reality of existence look at the people, look at their faces I’m the chatter that keeps them sane so this is how it’s going to be every second a new adventure I will view each page a panel forgetting faces, houses and lights to exist in the moment there’s a certain truth that hides in those who say why not content to be quiet and observant, not sure they’re drifting air can be anything for those who paint with energy and silence. and remember the thoughts that always pushed through? remember the adventures, the memories, the dreams slipping away? if we weren’t walking backwards we’d miss the view

and it will start when we’re overwhelmed it can grow from seed or root a patchwork quilt in fall thoughts drifted and I was no longer in control my breathing still aware, but soon forgotten I think we just crossed the line nowhere to go but down. you know where I am reliving time songs on shuffle the mileage not much more than a waste of it need a step back, it’s easy to deceive oneself you know where I am reliving time you know where I am.

a new year to focus on the content it’s probably too much to expect but I’m starting to think it all may be possible at least for now in the stillness, descending there is so much more to both of us. life in slow motion we keep making the same mistakes trying to remember every moment we fear the wrath, the vice grip we must learn to earn trust from ourselves the passing, very shocking tomorrow we move on
