The mountain in my mind shifted, no longer in limbo
Weight of hope crashing to realization
Gazing down the hill, to the shadows and echoes that comfort
As silent pools now had permission to well
The overflow blurred the future of those city lights
Bright they shone, even from a distance
My experience; also in the future
And who would know the additions to be made?
The skyline glowing and lives changed
All I could think: that this means goodbye
And days earlier, I recalled… that all these moments will be
lost
In time
Like tears in rain
But the yearning goes on, as it has since the last visit
In stasis it seems while the flicker proves me wrong
The planes glide down
Soon up, and beyond
Three weeks until from the air, those lights blur again,
No doubt between masked smiles and longing stares.
More missed opportunities to dance in the mind
But this means goodbye, as I’m no longer in limbo.
I’ll continue to wait, and pray that perhaps I’m
mistaken.
