Further On Toward The End Of The Road

I can look up and see what appears to be The End Of The Road. This I know, there is a parade of miles behind me. So many that I don’t even recall  traversing them all, not that it matters though. My footprints lay there in the bent blades of grass, the turned over stone, the dust kicked up into the wind, the wave sent ‘round the world. I am so many miles to the fore that I must appear, not so much as something moving, but as something fixed on your horizon – but I am moving My Dear… moving farther along. And no matter how fast you scurry or how many short cuts you carefully plan, no matter how vivid your dreams, or magical your wishes seem, you will never reach me in time.
