Drifting
between possibilities
perspective shifts once again
landscapes of lives to be lived
spread out before me
like the clouds' shadows moving
slowly across the
mountains face
passing shadows,
nothing more
these are the thoughts that
entertain me
keep me company
tonight
i ponder and postulate
the weight of a single human life
i seek the fulfillment
of secret dreams
in quiet hours
a simple happiness in life
and yet
can never quite shake
the nagging sensation
maybe some unfounded realization
that i am held accountable
for my time
my days
my ever-swiftly passing moments
what i choose to give
life
