The next

 he has breathed the land

the inhales his yesterdays

the exhales of what is next

where turbulence took him

on flights between pavement

and swirling sapphire he's lost in

the clouds hiding what is next

that is where he always aims

the mystery of the horizon

bearing all its promised new

in burning golden scarlet hue

lapping the burnt out candle lights

that wax and wane with the jealous moon

that only wishes to fly as fast as he

rushing to the just out of reach next

on a sea of land that ebbs in his soul

passing semis with cattle cargo

passing farmers going just a little farther

and families knowing not where they jaunt

for all of them tread on his wings

on his escape from mundane musings

he fears those might be the end of him

as it repeatedly and rapidly pounds on his chest

"What's next?"
