Reaching Out (National Poetry Writing Month 2023 #15)   Leave a comment

I'm chasing a dream 
Out of reach 
In front of me 
I stumble forward 
Reaching out 
But still, I come up empty 

I run away from me 
Out of time 
Just memories 
I stumble forward 
Reaching out 
But still, I come up empty 

Regret and heartache 
Trace a path 
My footprints in the sand 
But time and tide 
will wash away 
The time I've never had 

So goodbye and farewell to me 
I'll live the future you'll never see
