Seeking part of me in this.
Never what I thought I was.
Clashing with my ego.
Abandoning reason for love.
Two paths,
leading to the same grave.
A biathlon
I will ride.
One thing becoming another,
as I walk through this life.
Follow the dreams.
it all seems
impossible,
but the possible
doesn’t seem relevant
anymore.
All those loose threads
and dead-end paths
are on fire
as we descend.
I remember feeling
the high arc
of the parabola.
We could reach up
and touch the stars.
These days we need rockets
to go places
we used to get to in our cars.
I know this
is just a wave
of the dragon’s tail.
A single beat
of an eagle’s wings.
Incredible to think
of what I have seen so far.
Curious to see
what today brings.
Uncovering the past
and discovering the future.
One path,
two directions.
Each way leads to a discovery,
but only one way
leads me home.
