All I’ve ever known

I am not one to sit or stand still.

Even when I am at rest, my soul wanders further, dwelling in the deep expansions that connect me and the universe.

In a cycle of endless chase, It aches me to pursue. Yet, that is all I’ve ever known

All I can ever do.

I can only wish that one day, I will be able to pause for a moment and look around.

To see someone in pursuit of me.

Until then, I shall make do if that is my own shadow.
