Unfullfilled

Unfulfilled
By Christabel Germain

Longing
Desire
All spin round
Eagerly I grasp out,
Longing to touch,
Change dreams to reality

The storm rages on
Wind whips me pushing me in directions I hadn’t planned.
The view is amazing,
but now that I’ve had a taste I want more
Not satiated
Pinning
Shadows dance on the wall taunting me
I wish to follow

AND

Yet fear is there
Dark and ominous
Threatening to tear photograghs off the wall
Rip pages out of my favorite story
History dribbles from its teeth
Perception hides under its dirty nails
Lies unspoken hidden in its eyes

Courage now dear
“nothing ventured—
nothing gained”
Adventure waits behind fear’s threats
One step at a time
Double or nothing

I’ll hold your hand
