as high as an aeroplane flies

just a cliche start
every journey may begin with
a cliche
small step
but
that small step will invariably turn
into a walk
or into a sprint
or perhaps
into a full on run
into a distance
that has no way to be
measured.
we go on
in spite
or to spite
any pain
we may feel.
it is beautiful
to go through life
with the wind at our backs
and the sun on our hair
and the world all around us
beckoning us
to move
to act
to give no quarter
and never stop
until
life is wrested from us
by the inevitable end.
