Tentative

Consider a moment, Tentative steps. Perhaps they seem new and an uncharted realm, requiring a measure of time to truly remember how to walk a path that leads to happiness. Glance at the citadels' walls which you have built over time, to protect your hearts desires. Do you really comprehended, its image, stature and strength from the other side of perception? Is wanting to know for certain, you are not making another emotionally bankrupting mistake, an indication of fear or mistrust? Or perhaps is it wisdom, garnered from a lifetime of hard learned lessons, that mandates patience to allow what ever may happen to occur, in its own time and way in un conjured innocent freedom. Do you trust nothing more than you initial emotional reaction, or the longing to derive some semblance of unrealized happiness in place of the void loneliness dictates? Wanting nothing more than to ingrain, the entire essence and being of the other, so that a serene completeness can turn waking dreams into reality's treasure.
