"Walking Midnaught Paths..."

Sigh

I've gotten notes from a few - some are just taking a break - others got tired of some 'tudes… and a few really died - most have entered the universe of memory.  

 

“Walking Midnaught Paths…”

 

Life as we live it. 

So many chase…

sometimes even a dream

sometimes without a clue

sometimes relief from their own darknesses

…any tomorrow at all.

 

Some find hope

some …heart.

Some find their fears,

others a sunrise.

 

AND WE …

breathe and wander

our own paths

while we witness 

their existence in passing.

Just passing through. Yes, it can be all about that passing, and who we meet and might never see again, whether it is something enforced or endured. It may only be the memory that lasts. Well written. If I had any criticism, I would say that the opening line borders on cliche. I'm prone to doing that myself, too, and in your case I'm not sure there is a better way of saying it. Sometimes cliches are handed down simply because that is the best way of expressing it.

Very true... Things don't start their existence as "cliches" - they get 'labeled' as that because of their accuracy and the commonality of understanding that they invoke.

Life as we live it - a cliche? The action ...possibly, I tend to think of the first (and continued) use of that particular line as mine actually; and if it has evolved into a considered 'cliche' - way cool.

I appreciate you're coming by; and especially your sharing of thoughts.

It is similar to "life as we know it," and that is what probably struck me. A quick google search still came up with several hits.

chris it really is sometimes just a memory good pause to take note of life as it is going on and passing good contemplative read to see just where oneself is headed
