Day after day

Night after night

We struggle to stay awake

Struggle to be alive

We rush through life

Like water down a slippery slope

Passing up opportunities

Missing moments we will never have again

Life is not a revolving door

But more like an escalator

Carrying us to places we can’t reach fast enough

Then dumped at the end to find your own way forward, or back

We wander and wander

Watching, hearing, feeling

Touching everything with all our senses

Grasping at moments to remember

Take me to a moment in time

Where dreams are born

Where the stairs don’t disappear into the night

But wistfully carry you into eternity
