Running, always running
From place to place
Never stopping to realize
That this is it,
This is what we are living for.

The running continues
Back and forth
Never seeming to get weary
Persisting until we find clarity
Brilliant flashes of purity
That this is it,
This is what we are living for.

We continue on as people, yet rarely decide to slow down and take a moment and realize that this is life.
