Beyond The Hustle

The light of the sun seems dimmer

The ebb of life down to a trickle

A 60's Vauxhall crawling on a six-lane 

The hourglass is bottom full with no flip

Just yesterday, everything was a rush

Like racing the rain, chasing the sunset

Life was a motorbike on the scenic highway

A comet shining bright against the dark sky

 Morrow is a deluded festive Tomorrowland 

 The hedonist inside raises a toast to today

 As the slow train huffs and puffs towards

 The end of the line of this abandoned railroad

The fame, the glory and the promise of Neverland

A lifetime lived chasing dreams 

Going one step up and two steps down 

The hopeless optimist has reached this far

A bundle of memories lightens the load

Of the drag of living one day at a time

To whooshing and vrooming lifetimes in the day

 To realise now, it could only get you this far 

I remain still and towards me the ineludible in a rush.
