A Simple Fact

The future speeds ahead of me
Somehow of my making:
A distance is venturing
Into unsettled territory...

A highway with a clear direction
Takes me further along
A route without boundary
To a place of compensation...

Now, I realize that years ago,
It was the same struggle,
As today:
The need for expression
Was the only reason
And still it is,
Behind my goal!
