It has always seemed so far
Almost Unattainable
Incomprehensible
It has always been
Kept a distance away
At an arm’s length
Here but hardly
Close but not close enough
Tasty but Bland
Oh but, what if?
I figure what if?
What if it has always been
What chained me
What if it has always been
What denies me
What denied me?
But now I can feel it
A new world beckons
Could it be
That the chains have been broken
Could it be that I missed it all
Could it be that all this time
It was contending
Slowly untangling time
To take me to a place
Where the light leads
Where then I would experience
What it promises
Peace.
Happiness.
