timeline

forever it lays
endless to my eye
a road, this road.
a straight road
me?
i am walking
i have never taken a step back
i can't
only forward.
a steady beat
a heartbeat
constant.
with every step i learn
something most fear
this knowledge tells me
there's an end
to this modest life
an end to this road
this road i walk
and soon it will end.
and I?
i will simply walk of the edge
