keep moving, don't look back

24/4/2017

 
And the voice kept speaking to me:
     keep moving, don’t look back
And the world kept reminding me:
     keep moving, don’t look back


And I took to the edge with the lip of the blade,
Landing the kill to replenish the soul,
A moment in time not too distant forward
Excruciating and mindful beginnings to end


And the voice kept speaking to me:
     keep moving, don’t look back
And the sound kept passing through me:
     keep moving, don’t look back


And I tickled the fancy to belong to something,
But something is distant like horizons in sight,
Another sunset you’ll believe it to be true
This lost cause was enough to swallow in lieu


And the voice kept speaking to me:
     keep moving, don’t look back
And the world kept reminding me:
     keep moving, don’t look back


But I was too far gone to be a listener,
I was too far gone to soft-land the falling,
Fade in the distraction of the world in truth
Fade out the moment that was mine to own.
