I wonder what
keeps us so
high up?
I’m trying
but this fear
has a hold on me.
I can feel
my heart beating
as time catches
up with me.
people, they drift
away
floating
on and on
so far away
they may never
return
all the while
we endure
something keeps
us going
higher and higher
the limit
is for us to
decide.

Always Wondering

I’m always wondering
… where you are
… what you’re doing
… are you thinking of me?
… do we dream the same dreams?
… if we feel the same things
in our hearts.

But every time
I try to speak the words…
when I try to ask the questions
just to get the answers,
a fear takes hold of my heart
that the words that you’ll speak
won’t be the words that I seek
keeps me paralyzed.

And the silence between us
stretches further than the stars
so that I am always,
always wondering
where you are.
