Street of Life

As I walk on the street of life

I see faces everywhere…

I stop a moment to speak to you

we laugh, we cry, we share a moment of joy

…but i had to walk on

for the waves of life nudged me forward.

Walking on…

I pause a moment and look back…

what do I see?

Strangers everywhere

where is that moment I shared with you?

It is then I realised…

the moment is lost forever

Frozen in memory…

but never to be found today.

I walk on towards the end of the street

filled with moments found and moments lost

Knowing that when i reach the end…

Alone I shall be for alone I have travelled.
