the further away it seems
my worst fears
but a window to the world
exposing my hopes and dreams
as if they don’t belong to me
elbows on window sill
eyes blinking shut
palms supporting chin
mind delving deeper in thought
lonesome mockingbird
outside looking in
echoing a song I’ve yet to begin
some say I’m on my way
I say I’m already there
arms stretched out
and welcoming a light
that naturally never ends
december two thousand eighteen
