There Once Was
I thought there would always be a better day,
Another way to overcome all we have done to hold us back.
I believed we'd find the answer to close the gaps between us,
and open a world of potential unrivalled.
A game of sliding doors with a hundred near misses to our destruction,
Yet we'll never know how close we may have come to our salvation.
We look to the mountain tops and depths of the sea,
we look to the stars to guide us to fulfilment and greatness.
And with those same eyes searching for inspiration,
We judge and torment to feed insatiable insecurities.
Sweep us clear away from the playing board please,
For we no longer belong to the earth, sky or trees.
Chasing the waterfalls and the clouds above,
And a fantastical love that we could never possibly hold.
We want the feeling to last for an eternity we can never know,
as our limits are overflowing with the irrelevancies we cherish.
With filled regrets that all efforts diluted and dissipated away,
As I turn and walk slowly with nothing left to convince me to stay.
We would never be enough for each other in time,
as we all want too much and are unwilling to provide.
Learn from our mistakes and those of others we have been scolded,
but a lesson so simple we have been unable to live.

Well, salvation or not our time on this planet is really limited... So let's make the most of it...
What does this mean though? Take all that is possible while available?
You are thinking corporate 😀
I was thinking more along the lines of living life to the fullest. Love those around us and live in today, because past is gone and tomorrow is not guaranteed.
We are often close to both our dreams and our downfalls.
For sure. In a slightly different life, things could be supremely changed.
The line about wanting too much while being unwilling to provide really touch me because it feels so true about people today, Sad but beautifully written.

STOPThis is part of the reason I hate it when I find myself living for the weekend or those mountaintop experiences. I have been trying more and more to appreciate each day and the mundaneness of life because those bright moments are few and far between. I don't want to miss everything waiting for them to happen.
