Patience of Life
Life is but a dream waiting to happen
Always out of reach yet barely attainable
For those who have tasted and savored
A forever road striving to arrive awaits
Illusions of reality, reality of illusions
Voids unfilled, lessons learned, life's amiss
Instincts of intuition pass through one's mind
If to walk in their shoes would we see the same
Leagues of experience tread this life
Standing still on a vertical impasse awaits
Swaying to reactions of actions conversed
Reassess to reacquire what may be lost
Fortunes told, treasures lost and won
Unchartered territories on horizons rim
Wishful thinking to all who dream
The goals to conquer are life's gambles
To compare the depths of here and now
Is natures link to unrelenting pursuit
Inhibitions casually laid to rest aside
Just once take the risk, it is worthwhile.
