Going

I have a plan

I am

I am

I’m running so fast

going nowhere

just going

forever

I won’t stop to catch my breath

I won’t stop for life or death

I’ll keep going

going

going

gone

It’s forever

forever

forever

gone


 

Did you think too much of me?

Did you think too much of you?

Did you ever think to not think at all?

Have you wondered what it is?

Have you wondered what to find?

Have you ever wondered what it’s like

to be free

one mind

no cries

no lies

can’t die

just moving

on and on again


 

Don’t stop

don’t think

don’t look back

don’t blink

or you’ll miss it

What is it?

What is it?

What is it?


 

It’s a sign

it’s a place

it’s a time

it’s a space

it’s a void

it is grace

it is nothing

and it is something

that

I can’t see

I can’t reach

but I try anyway


 

Thoughts left behind

one thing on our minds

To get something

something

something

but it is nothing

nothing

nothing

at all


 

but it is

you

me

us

we

he

she 

to see

to be

something

something

that’s so very close to

nothing

nothing

so close that we become

everything

everything


 

we keep going until

we see everything

we’ll be everything

we’ll be there for a moment

and then nothing at all

forever

going

going

gone

    Why did you have to hurt us?

    Again?

    Again?

    ‘Cause when I was young

    there was a chance

    a chance

    to be free

    a chance to see a woman be

    something new and

    different

    I know

    pitiful laughs and lies

    and joys and cries

    and love and skies

    that are most breathtakingly

    blue


     

    I know

    the good and sad

    the ugly and bad

    the boiling mad
