forever forward motion
yet we feel swept off our feet
all of it is true of course
just as the mud
is picturesque from afar
we see the distance
thinking, if I could just get there
then the mud slides underfoot
the trees look away
reach out instead to the unseen
nothing is solid enough
to keep me upright
nor soft enough
to cushion my fall
an idea to scramble, change track
I should, could
but never will
as there is a transparency to me
filling me with shame, I am little
more than a wisp
making out I somehow understand
how I get out of here
there is so much beauty and possibility in this
when viewed from far away
but close up
it really does not look that way
