 Floating Along


Floating along the path I chose to take

wondering if the path chose me

I can remember clearly, thinking clearly

that this one had sunshine and birds and open air

and seemed like a good way to go

never really any reason other than

having my foot already a step upon

decisions not really decided

I don't cause the turns I make

I just follow them

and I don't call the mountains

I just traverse them

And I don't fight the monsters

I just run

mixed landscapes of dazzling beuty

and stretches of endless wastes

My eyes seeing visions of fragmented dreams that cannot crystallize

ghostly ambitions tease my mind

like mustangs unharnessed

power unfocused

how do you snare those ambitions and drive them

when you've spent you life just.... floating along
