| Waiting Flight
Moving with pen
my hand draws in idea a feathered form
Restless, reaching out
a thought strives flight
Often eager, sometimes sad
my heart beats making sweet life
Forever it's expression I'm seeking
Always almost finished yet never quite
completed
vibrant their meaning clasped in graphite
shimmering my words are waiting
caged here on this page
Freedom is found
only in emotion given to you
My thoughts remain unfulfilled
until their reflection's mirrored
finding flight in eyes of another
