Running forward

forever getting faster

people, memories

fading behind you

blurs of the past.

An old version of yourself

Looks on as you get smaller

and smaller.

Until you’re almost unrecognisable.

But that’s his view.

A sharp picture in the distance

getting clearer as you take each step.

The ground below

sometimes uneven

yet your feet stay strong

assuring yourself as you plant

a part of you into a new part of the world.

It seemed so big at first

not daunting

just large.

the world gets smaller as you grow

each corner becomes more reachable

a feeling once abstract

now tangible.

Keep moving

Leaving the troubles of that unforgiving world

Behind.
