BIT by BIT

bit by bit it drifts
slow movements in separate directions
the mind will only think
the eyes will only see
the heart will only feel
the motion is in question
the drifting as it is real

bit by bit it drifts
the power is lost
the belief is blur
in every little step
the body shuts down
the heat within is exposed
pains beneath ones feet
when the ground is slippery

bit by bit it drifts
it is blank
it is hollow
it is sad as it is real
words do matter
actions will only speak
time will only tell
but the motion will still be in motion

bit by bit it drifts
there will be a place to settle
there will be a height to reach
though mental starvation is there
the need to feed is nowhere
inspiration is a battle
excitement would be better
norms are stable
but the motion will change that

bit by bit it drifts
it's in age that the sight is far
maturity makes you see
that what the motion does is tear
ok I get it, now it is clear
regardless of any effort
when the motion is fate
the speed will increase
and by the time you realize
the time will be lost
the separation would be clear
the drifting would have taken it's course

bit by bit it drifts
yes it drifts...
