Yearning to Live, Wanting to Fly

 

Caught between two worlds,

The world that is; the world to come.

Trying to navigate a matrix of what could be,

And what life can only be.....for now.

Hands linked; minds connected

As one, and so deeply won.

Yet still silent barriers,

That surround despite the freedoms.

Separation, segregation, desperation.

Melded and intertwined with

Exultation, exhilaration and complete

Satisfaction, for what the future holds.

Lessons learned and understanding,

Yet still so many classes to attend.

Wayward words, unintended indifference,

Pain delivered. Pain felt. Grey clouds.

Burdens piled layer on layer

Crowd out the sun from sight.

But these are only momentary

And will soon disperse like the morning mist.

Leaving behind a path

Of forgotten woes and empty friendships.

Promises that were not delivered,

Support that was so easily removed.

But life and love is not built

On such fragile a foundation

As insincerity,

But rather on the promise of whole,

The solidity of truth

And a scaffold of love and completion.

So while we yearn to live,

Know that our dreams will soon take flight,

And soar above the tumult below

In peaceful and tranquil harmony.
