Trivial Revelation

Any day like today 
Yesterday or
Tomorrow

A lonely long sidewalk
Music
Spearing from ear to ear
The same steps you’ve walked
Your entire life.

Notes building, gentle
Gliding sounds stringing 
Your childhood to Now
A vision old images pouring out
In a new way never seen before.

Step, step, step.
Breathe in, breathe out
The heartbreak floating beside
The ultimate achievement like
Sisters separated at birth.

The kiss that shook mountains
The glance that dripped evil
Goosebumps, ice cold
The words that got me over it
The cigarette you had when yo knew

No plank on this March
Nay, the sidewalk turns to brick
An uninterrupted mirage of life
Coming alive knowing the walk
Has so much ahead.
