We sometimes forget to look up.
Forget that the ocean will beat mercilessly on the shore
Washing away evidence that I once walked past here
We forget to look up to the ones who travel alongside us
Who dig through dirt to help us find what we are looking for
Not understanding why we search, but simply helping for our sake alone
We forget to look up at the horizon
The sun rises and falls continuously, but the time passes us by
We don't even notice the shadows, growing from short to tall, passing right to left
We forget why we were even looking
More intent on the faint impressions I left here
Chasing after a trail long left cold
We forget that we too are human
More human than me or you
