One by one, step by step
over and over, until its done
the day begins, continues,
no end in sight
yet there is
before that happens
I stop, hesitate, look around
trying to see
obsessed with the moments
blocking my view
I fail to hear , a small voice
a whisper, within my soul
a movement somewhere
A restless thought that yearns and yearns
And yearns again
for a moment
I see them then as they once were
I even hear their long, lost signs
proving existence does not end
with the passing from this world
a single person, a single mind,
a single thought, foundations of time
but I cannot hold this moment long
quite unable to control
a single thought, that does exist
that yearns and yearns
and yearns again
