Step ©©

Step, Step, Step
Movement through space and time
Arms swaying effortlessly through the air
Liquid emotion

Second after step
Step after second
Alone down battered paths
Searching for naught

Mile after hour
Day after a hundred more
Chasing time
Running from time

Trying to catch up to Fred
Or John, Cathy, Paul, Lucy…
Someone to pass
Or maybe not to feel alone

Walking on by as the world spins away
Touching everything with confused eyes
Searching for clarity
While chasing Harry

Stepping through time
Never falling behind
Across time in a sea of other souls
Catching some, being caught by others

Step, Step, Step
