Temporary places
Momentary mindsets
Moving through material
Ethereal existence

Like versions of a life
Conversions of a creed
What is it we believe
Choose to make reality

What is it we learn
Must we just repeat
Habit, training, social script
Teaching us how to be

What are we looking for
Perhaps some certainty
But when the certain drives us down
It’s time to take a look around

I wonder can a bridge
Ever reach the end
Be all that defines
The eternal tides
Of our ever-ebbing lives
