Nothing stands
still forever.
Body, mind
and soul
in perpetual
motion.
Something
within
pushes and
spins us
in all
directions
over time
as we search
to find
ourselves
in places
where we
cast our
shadows
in sun and
moonlight
as well as
our reflections
in puddles,
rivers, oceans
created by
rain, scattered
by winds that
birth more
shadows in
moonlight
and will
reshape
planets,
skies,
elsewhere in
space and time,
inspiring us
t0 live now
and dream about
tomorrow
because
nothing
stands still
forever.
