I can feel it getting closer.
It whispers a beautiful song.
I am walking closer and farther, closer and farther.
Put my hand to the sea and what I expect to see stares back.
It pierces my soul.
It is my reflection.
But also a friendly reminder of what I would be leaving behind.
I am running closer and farther, closer and farther.

This poem is about making choices. It means that sometimes one wrong choice will follow you. It could change everything about you.
