Pacing These Floors

By Bruce Clifford

Pacing these floors
Retracing my steps
Erasing the past
Ignoring regrets

Walking in circles
Reliving a dream
Creating a reason
Something with meaning

It all happens anyway
It all transpires everyday
I wish the sea could take me away
It all happens anyway
Anyway

Pacing the yard
Retracing my steps
Eliminating the answers
Passing each test

It all happens anyway
It’s all an emotional getaway
I wish there was an easier way
It all happens anyway

Pacing these floors
Retracing my steps
Erasing the past
Ignoring regrets

It’s good to be here
It’s good you are near
It’s good to be here
