Hapless..

Wandering through the void,
my soul seeks respite..

The doubt, the sorrow, it stings.

The pain is bittersweet,

like a rose clenched tightly in one's fist.

I cannot let go.

I am a dreamer,

but the dreams bring nothing but shadows.

I seek your face in futility. 

You are not there,

You are not there.

You are a  thousand miles beside me,

your hand out of reach.

Where are you, my heart?

You are  a mystery, a phantom.

One i cannot fathom even with a lifetime's worth of thoughts.

Let down your rope, that I may discover more of you.

Beautiful and terrifying,

like a rainless hurricane.

Your winds freeze me where i stand and in your presence,

I know not what i should do.

Your voice pierces my being and cuts me down.

I will wait,

I will wait.

Eternity is nothing more than a minute.
