The future is a big place

The future is a big place

It contains many roads

Yet, those stings burn undiminished

When you miss your intended exit

Even as the reality grips you

That imagined destination

Was a guessed aproximation

And no matter the turns you take

The wait will never finish

The hour of arrival will not find you

Enjoying being lost takes grace

There is talk of time running out

For adventurs yet unexplored

But what has caught my attention

Is how much is yet to unfold

Life as I think of it had not yet begun

Time is not running out

There are whole lifetimes ahead

And forgotten universes behind

The world is a big place

When you miss your exit

Kiss the window

Say a prayer

Where you’re going you’re not coming back from

So keep your eyes on the road

S.P. 2015
