inhale this next moment

next frame ready on the exhale

never to meet yet aware

of their codependence

this cyclical continuum

forward motion a lit ferris wheel

infinity forever on the moist lip

of each horizon

visible through the haze half

imagined half intuitive knowledge

perpetuity just out of reach

is it faith

keeps us upright

stepping forward into future’s path

sometimes clear often not

a barely audible whisper beckoning

drawing us forth with promises

vague but enticing enough

augmented by our curiosity

conjured hope or delusions

inhale this moment and sometimes

pause

exhale into the next adventure

shedding the already gone

past slips away like petals in the wind

forward forward

this life is a one way street

experience our scenic flow from

a window of a passenger train

breathe in deep then let go

forward forward

backstepping only leads to

the grave~
