to go on

The world I knew

as stable

Static

as a child

has always been ending

Breaking

Growing

Shifting

To go on

We must

remake the world

each day

Pace Yourself

Pace yourself
Let not footsteps behind
or ahead
Alter your gait

From winding hills
To gridded plains
The pavement meets your soles

*This poem was submitted to a sidewalk poetry contest. It was not selected, so I decided to share it here. Pretend you’ve stepped on it.

Nocturnal thoughts are rarely definitive
Illuminating
until day breaks
lucidity
with
Reality
