when if turns into is –
tomorrow,
yesterday –
i’ll still be waiting here for you,
midnight anticipating dawn…
long –
the shadows on the road –
with miles left yet to travel –
but i’ve grown weary of the journey…
time used to be a friend of mine –
until the days behind were greater than ahead.
quickly –
earnestly –
i grasp for one more rung on this ladder of my life –
ambitious –
determined –
seeking consistency
in a mercurial world…
can you reach out a hand today?
this friend indeed –
is more than just a friend in need –
and you,
much more than just the axis to a world
ever so quickly turning!
standing too close to the edge
