Absolute by Ivan Guerrero Najera

Absolute


The road to tomorrow
Carried by the wind
Through the trees and the birds
And time as a fiend

Is not to be followed
Rode on or traversed
It's air never swallowed
It's soil only cursed

You're only to tumble
To fall on your face
To pick yourself up
And fall behind pace

Stand still and tall, stall
And look at the flowers
And the bees and the insects
For seconds, for hours

The beauty is fleeting
The sun passes on
The darkness awaits
The daylight is gone

The lore of your future
Is stories of past
It's pointless, so measure
The absolute last
