"life Whirls On By"

Life whirls on by with One million intentions, One million locations To end up at With one million new thoughts, And I’m caught up in the jet stream… Spinning, whirling, whirring, Thinking, laughing, talking, Loving, hurting; Doing all the things I’m meant to do From day to day, Without really caring. Tiny little pressure Points of pain and reassurance, Needs of life And needs of thought and Love, and still the same Old speed bumps, Getting stuck, and climbing over… Finding reasons, losing them Then finding them again A little bruised and worse-for-wear But dust them off And use their fragile little bodies, Hold their hand and Walk so close you almost Trust them and believe Standing still and watch The traffics tails, Legs still march but Still, I’m standing still. Watch the things that morph And swirl around me, Morph and change and run off Over the horizon Leaving me behind Lost Confused Slipping…

In the cosmos we are caught on a rapid ... of knowing and unknowing ... but in belief we have a stable point ... love the discourse ... love the write.
