I wonder what I am running toward
or is it after
it is not simply speed with which
I take off each day determined
alight to tick boxes satisfaction
in making those marks
I have lived long enough to listen to oldies music
as if the first time
finding myself remembering
yet also living in wonder
those days have been ones which keep me here
feet with roots of trust
so many todays I have chased and done nothing more than wear out the bottoms of my shoes
holding on for the will of these remembered days I know
there is worth in my pursuit
I have won awards for my vigor
breath upon breath comes as the morning light casts shadows
there is more than this one day
more than this one me
