Gone By:

It gets difficult to breath
to see to know
where one is begining
and where one will surely end
the journey becomes long
and unduly tiring
with no sign of rest along the way
doubt creeps in
fears play out
as if a black and white movie
light pales to a dimness
long missed
much needed
to warm the faint hearted
and as the steps slow
noticing below the feet
are but the fallen
of those that became redundent
to the steps that are life
being all you can
breathing living
this life once
until the end
as you walk on water
