Thursday Poem: We Wear These Lives

BILD0422

We Wear These Lives

We are here, but this
is not what we want
and here is not the place.

You are not quite who
I was looking for,
and I am not what you want.

This place is not the place
we expected to be.
We wear these usual lives
while we wait for life to begin.

We wait, ready to shrug off
these lives and step
into a new world we know
is almost within reach,

yet just too far to touch.
We know we will know it
only when we see it.
