Behind the Curtains

Disastrous 
How it becomes 
How it grows to be 
How it takes shape
Like water

How it transforms 
The vessel 
How heavy it gets 
But yet so liberating 
To the senses 

How you look at it 
And not understand it 
But yet it’s no stranger to 
your heart 

How you call for it 
In your dreams 
Some say you’re hopeless 
But hopefully you are 
Because you believe in it
You live it
You are it.
