Longing
Prolonging the bittersweet
All that glitters isn't gold
Withers away the soul
One feels incomplete
Amid the automatons
I am famished, malnourished
Not for food, drink, or song
My soul clamors for substance
Evoking memories of long ago
Scented with magic and hope
I wear the wrong vestment
It’s like a uniform meant to conform
Speak in a monotonous tone on the cell phone
On your own…be distrustful of the unknown
This society condones
I long to walk barefoot
Swim half naked next to a waterfall
Look at the writing on the wall... life is too short
Above all, be free, carefree, believe
Retrieve those dreams like precious stones
Shed the mask…look deep into your soul
What is it that nourishes you besides coffee and a roll?
Let go of what’s beyond your control
Reach for your goals, your true role in the play
Has it dawned... you may have to do it all over again
