Relative Something

.

the time is long past
those were the days
and what a time it was
no less these days
time marches on
running in place
in circles
insanity
dancing enchanted
underneath the same moon
fast
in a breeze
released long ago
balanced in history
between then
and now
a difference transparent
translucent
inspired
destined to be
each present moment
subtly masked
as all of the time

there’s pressure
..sure
mostly self-imposed
but that doesn’t mean
undeserved at the time
it fuels a drive
to get results
make something happen
arise to occasions
that call for the goods
to earn that pat
on the top of the head
acknowledging one thing
above all the rest
it’s not just to whom
this effort most matters
that fevers the pitch
a multitude of like-minded
innocent others
gliding along on the rambunctious ride
hang ever so innocuously
on each dazzling stride
asking for nothing
except all they can
wishing that wishes
on top of pure will
will reap reams of real reasons
to seek such shrill thrills
