A promise of a distant future
A message;
To the past
From the present
Just a little wish
An inkling of hope,
That one day
A true serenity will envelop me
Entangle me with others in a world where fear is insignificant
Instead overpowered with love and compassion
A place where laughter encompasses all
No longer trapped in that box once called home
Waiting and waiting and waiting
To see the vast colors
Of the distant horizon
Away from the dreary past
Veiled with tears and stumbles
No longer trudging through every step taken
So far away it seems
Not at all in reach
That place of warmth and support
That place where I find the people I love;
And they love me
Oh, but wait!
That distant future,
Is standing right in front of me.
