tonight, we wonder

tonight we wonder how we got here
how the distance unraveled before us
without care for his longevity
and didn't worry if he would be loved
he went on steadily through the thick of pain
and the thin, sweet , floating air of happiness
and laid down time while we were not looking

relecting now on how far I've come
and thinking ahead of how far I still have to go
I covet the serenity of the distance
and how meager he is in his accomplishments
that lucky boy has figured out something
I am still trying to realize
something Christ pointed out
that the lillies, like the distance already know
how to just \"be\"

tonight we wonder how we got here
and what is meant to be
instead of merely experiencing this moment
unlike the distance, who has already gone
the distance who is so carefree
I am still trying to figure out
what it takes to go the distance
