forever changing

we are all floating in space
running away from things
that are also running away from us
like anger, like hate
like love
we are forever changing
going nowhere 
going everywhere
our thoughts flow in circles
but we try to make them solid
so we can hold on to memories
as if they were things
we lock away those precious moments
in our treasure chests
we discard our fears and sorrows
but somehow they get caught on
they are there in our shadows
waiting to run us down 
like a pack of wolves
i see myself
being used 
as a body
as a mind
forever changing
sometimes life confronts me
and i run away
from that which runs away from me
waiting to meet me
when we run on by
each other again
in our circle of lust
as free as dust
eventually becoming rocks
that turn into gold
we grow old
together or apart
it doesn’t matter now
because our love 
every last part of it
is forever changing
