the road lengthens

the farther we walk on it


instead of coming nearer

our destination


it stretches farther away

as we approach it


if I were to stand still

all movement would stop


or if I were to stand still

the road would shrink down


to no farther than my next step...

but no matter what I do


there is still a road leading

to some ultimate destination....
