Life pushes
It never pulls
It doesn't float you or carry you
It pushes none stop
Pushing
Pushing
Pushing
Shoving

All of us
a wild stampede of fear and anxiety
With no ability to look back and love what's is in front of us
With no stopping
With no waiting
With no halting

Life runs forward with us pushed along
Little control
Little direction
Trying to pilot a ship through a hurricane
