CLIMBING TOWARD A PEAK THAT MAY OR MAY NOT EXIST

MAY 5, 2013

i say i’m defeated
but i still keep on trying.
anything to say that i have loved
anything to be loved in return.
but this is a wind i chase
on feet chained to mountains
on weary feet slung to anchors
sunk to rust on ocean’s floor.
love is only sleight of hand and
i’m nearly disillusioned.
can anything so sweet withstand
the brutal test of time?
can something so invincible survive?
they say love is the ultimate force of life;
i don’t think that i’ve seen it where i’d hoped.
i say i’m defeated, and I am
but i won’t be.

when the wind blew
at the top of a mountain
i spread my arms wide for flight
but never met the sky.
