Empty Hand

What is desired

Is attainable.

Seek not beyond it,

For it is limitless.

 

To grasp the wind

Is never to hold it.

To reach a star

Is beyond expectations.

 

Yet we can wish

And not attain.

We can grasp

And find an empty hand.

I have grasped the wind with a sail made from a makeshift poncho and felt the power of its movement toward my destination. I have gazed at the stars and wished that I could travel there one day, knowing that I can't, but someday, someone like me will.

I like the last line. Finding an empty hand to grasp is the easiest thing to do.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
