Momentum

There's a metaphorical flow to it all you know

It might be spiritual, influenced by God

Or quantum molecular, matter influencing thoughtlessly

But we all see the speed of life

 

Sometimes life is an obstacle course

Adversity and adventure ever present

Action helping shake the dust off the bones

 

Sometimes the boat leads you

Water taking you to the place you planned

Your jigsaw skin fitting more comfortably

 

Sometimes though

The reality wraps around your feet with a binding

And the signposts only show question marks

 

When that happens remember how the flow works

Even at one mile an hour, a day, a week

You are still moving

You're the only one with the brake

 

Unstoppable is still unstoppable

No matter how fast you go
