But momentum is easily distracted
Standing still to catch my breath
Worried movements surround me
In stillness I watch
As many repeat the pattern
I smile at the actions I recognize
Watch to see each choice unfold
Remembering the forgotten
My own needs to be told
Looking inward it is found
So much still to be done.
Eyes closed wishing to hear
Where does it lead
Do you choose to follow
Paths never crossed again
Once decided thoughts settle
A single step is taken
Clumsy foolish dreamer
Why ever do you bother
All used up with trying
Worn through is recognition
Faded ever so quietly
Wisdom has finally won out
What is it worth
This pride that is left
Just let it go
It was never worth such effort
Do you see what they see
Laugh at how simple it is
The words are empty
Time has already past
Smile and let them think
Watch while they play
Just leave it down
Shame can be worn out
