Invisible Finish Lines

Maybe its built strongest for the longer rides

A chance to change 

To be ok not to know 

And in ways pull from the previous versions of self 

Ones of greater risk 

Ones that left you exposed 

So it seems in a moments hindsight 

Inside theres a lot of magic happening

Protecting the edges

Wiping them clean 

Repetitively

While knowing none of it matters 

Materials are the vessels to leave alone 

Human to human 

The rest will just be what it is 

Meant to be 

And yet if you truly can change the scenario 

Slight tweaks in the gambling ways  

Very least ponder the possibility 

Stay connected 

Double down on the earth like a fir 

Let the mind fly kites nomadically 

One movement one breath 

Courage to master what comes in 

Courage to push further out 

Courage when the legends of the story are living 

And in the well deep 

Overgrown surfaces filled with a thousand leaves 

Which is to say 

Beautiful with all your issues 

And scars and things and beautiful all the same 

Wait donโ€™t wait 

The middle of that is an answer you donโ€™t need 

Red ink fresh to melt up the page 

In reverse to shift 

How many times have I twisted out of a funk 

Arms extended straight up to buy in 

Hearts win the day 

Smoke clears the room 

Pages guiding an aim 

One more sound 

One more word

One more moment to cast the vibrating spells of honoring them 

And these images change slightly as they sit on your walls 

Positioned perfectly 

Yet slightly moving a little each day 

Nothing fixed 

Nothing for certain 

Be young in the nothing 

And carry the old body up the stairs

Where it will rest 

Until the midnight becomes the morning 

And you only have to beat yourself 

Invisible finish lines

Stay invisible
