my favorite spot is anywhere i can watch motion in distance,
like cars and people
it always reminds me how fleeting all things are
and that we must fully live in each moment while it’s there
when i think about it and look at things from afar
its an emptiness of existence
but when you’re there in the moment
you understand that its an existence that matters
it suggests that the parts are much more than how you perceive them as a whole
and as the end of my four-year college journey is here
i reflect with some of the memories i’ve made as they pass far from me, like cars and people
and i look at these moments left to make and realize what each would mean to me
just like distance, it will just be a matter of time that these would all mean less to me
time reminds me that these things too could fleet
however i’ve made a decision to stop things from going on motion
to let these memories and moments live on in me
not like the cars and people i’ve watched from my favorite spot.
