The on and on

Photo by Dan Fraser

The deliberate act of movement 

through space and time

the dance of breathing

in the next and next of loving

and all its needs

the losses and the gains

without measurement or touch

of hand or eye

the on and on of journeys

in the dusty clouds of lost

confusion and beginning

these are names we give

to living

in the not quite yet

and gone so soon

the thrumming in the heart of it all
