Just Within Reach

Just Within Reach 
 

                                 What was I able to do compared to you? 
                                                     I had no clue
                                      I couldn't chew more, at my grasp
                                         My soul clasp to seek for you

                                            The mind refuses to focus
                                         Filled with impatience aimless
                                                   ungratifying life
                                              to strife with purpose

                                                A gnawing realization 
                                         Soak  rain clouds and beaten
                                                My bubble has burst 
                           Slipped out of my fingers cursed without question

                                               The years have passed
                              Still yearning in the back of my mind steadfast
                              The wealth of my vision and shout in my ears
                                      will not hear to them unsurpassed
