At certain points
there comes a time
when you survey all you’re part of and you let it go.
And that gives you peace
because you zoom out
and you take a look around and it’s ok.
Which gives you fuel to move further forward
and to calm the waters and keep building.
Because that’s where it branches out to what we’re fighting for
even though it’s low key.
It’s more like what you put your heart into
from timeframe to timeframe
when it counts the most
and you even hope against hope with a smile of sorts.
