Critical of others
as they are of me;
my chains silently clank -
cannot be free.
Pulled relentlessly onward
from pillar to post,
drawn on by the answer -
by maybe a ghost.

River of life, I see
running swiftly by,
and youth becomes ancient
in the blink of an eye.
I see nations rise
and fall from glory,
still hear the cosmos sing
their ageless story.

I am still pulled onward,
passing year through year;
always being afraid -
yet, I do not fear.
The path reaches outward
to a place beyond old.
Believe in the story
which has been just told.
