A Distant Wave

I see you there

Beyond this worldly air

Within the framework of my despair

I see you there.

Pulling me, as the moon pulls

You, scattering your edges in pools

Filled with those slow moving fools.

I wait for the pulling when the Moon is full

Beyond the shoreline

Of my reality mind

I stare, seeking to find;

Beyond the infinite shoreline.

The empty framed window

Lay open a short ways below

All knowledge I have acquired and know.

Wind pushed, in and out, beckoning me to go.

Light bounces off a distant wave

"Leave what I took, bring what I gave"

Whisper in my heart, seeking to be brave.

Where the light bounces off a distant wave.

One last look

Back to my last step I took,

To see the open framed window

Close upon my past life, an unfinished book.
