everything passes
the good and the bad
time keeps nudging
us forward
with or without
what we once had
we can only carry
so much
in a heart, in a mind
some things we cling to
time tries to help us
leave behind
sometimes what we
strive for
simply cannot be
reached
glass divides
sound and touch
mirrors reflect
incongruities
for reasons we may
not be privy to
for certain people
may only be
meant to be
crosspathing through
to serve
but one purpose
which is not to stay
but to nudge us again
in internal direction
pitfalls propelling us
alternate ways
everything passes
including the pain waves
time keeps nudging
us forward
with or without
permission
every moment
of every day
