Pursuit

always what came before me

will be our mystery 

forever what remains after this

escapes us perpetually 

in the present here, now 

alive and breathing

I feel this purpose has no goal

that within the effort lies the soul

the prize is just a ghost

that the chase is all there ever is

and forever was

in what came before us

what makes the ever after

lies in the pursuit of mystery

no going backwards, no going forwards, no standing still, come inwards ....

[Davidgeo]

That is one way to say that.
