Chasm of the Chase
In losing, but still finding
In finding, feeling lostness
In dreams achieved, you’ll notice
The unavoidable abyss
The chasm of the chase: ever yearning, never sate
Yet still we work our will to wade the shallows of our fate
When all there is, achieved
Another stitch to hold the seam
But burst again in shedding of each embryonic dream
No fabric of the future,
No pull to reminisce
As shells submerged in ink-black water, or sight consumed by mist
Consummate your courage
And alterate your life
Face the fear of failure as you fall into the night
Do what you can to be there in every moment's pass, with little judgement to ensnare
the wisdom of the last
To be still and six feet under
Or alive as buzzing bees
As loud as roaring thunder
And as free as summer's breeze
Flow with feeling nowness, and maybe you will find
The purpose of the moment informed by present peace of mind
