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 © 4/15/2015

A deeply introspective rubaiyat, dear Eve. It shows us the angsts and what-could-have-beens gnawing at the back of many people's minds. A 7. Hugs! :) Kim

Hello Kim, Life sometimes gives you a curveball and you have to except that life has changed. With the tumor that was removed from my brain stop me from doing a lot ...... of things. Blessings dear friend Eve
