Flash Frame 

Equal bright, moving fast 
The scenes are blinking
In and out
Yellows and greens and in betweens
The faces you see around 
Every tree

Our fathers and mothers 
Moving nowhere fast 
Are we inside or out
Stealing oxygen gas?

Breathing in 
Breathing out
We’re nowhere closer
The feeling of
The haunting of never moving 
Like the past 

There’s fears around 
Every turn and every side 
We’re moving thru 
The buckles and thorns 
We leave by the wayside

There’s something settling 
Moving in
A sudden calm
Comes creeping in 

We never know 
Where anything goes
What time it is
Or where we go

It’s all in a tizzy
A rather large rats nest 
Like the moving parts of a ship
To steer us towards
The proper pitch 

We yaw and roll 
And move aside
Our bodies tremble
With fear inside

It’s always present 
And never in 
But when we stop 
It comes flooding in 
The tears they come
And wash away

The thoughts of tomorrow 
To live another day
For those around us
Are what keeps us whole 
We’re never knowing 
What’s all been told

So we try and stand
And pick ourselves up 
For we’re still here
And let’s make today, tomorrow
Before it passes us on
