The pulse of remembering
The arc of thought
The fiction of determining
What wrongs, I’ve wrought.

Our fate, so near
The wisdom, of experience
Revealed –
By fear.

Looking at me
Seeing our horizon
Breaking, us free.

Your fast moving state
Designs to entwine us –
In new directions, of fate.

I think that I’m really just
Something –

Your beginning
Come from, its end

Your focused, transcend.

Shaky rolls
Stylish swaggers

Bright and buffered
In the white glaze –
Glossed, with the snapshot of now
Frozen, in my mind
Loved, and treasured
Upon the path of my uniqueness.

Walking through the gate
I push my will,
to wait

A fathers, son, relates
We play –
The game, of fate.

Charging through the ether
Being chased, amongst the heat
We see the lost impressions
Within the meanings, of the Street.
