I...

I walk to go places
I talk to express myself
I look to see faces
I think to be real.

I fight for what's right
I run from the unknown
I peer deep into the night
I wonder what it holds.

I brave all the elements
I endure sun, rain and cold
I make lasting commitments
I ponder as age catches up.

I close my eyes to sleep.
I close my eyes to dream.
I listen to the nothing slowly creep.
For this sleep is my last.

Passing on

An endless highway
Of countless horizons
The sun will rise
And will fall again.
Friends will be lost
Lovers will fade away
Nothing can be done
For them, for anyone.
All highways end
Each horizon is numbered
Take heed to live
Each day like its last.
Learn your lessons
Pass life's tests.
