Of milestones...

A long drive

The anticipation

Longing desperately

For the destination

The eyes seek

The big milestones

Signs that speak

Markers along the way

But hey!

Though they stand steadfast

A blink of an eye

And they've rushed past

A fleeting satisfaction

I'm closer in a way

To my destination

Now, it's futile

To turn back

Try to track

These milestones again

They've served their purpose

They've played their part

They've given me the impetus

I needed to start

On the remainder

Of this beautiful journey

They're simply a reminder

That it begins anew

Each moment
