Why is it that you cannot see,
What it is I dream to be?
Perhaps it is you are afraid,
That I might breach, might escalade
Battlements within my mind
Reaching what I seek to find,
Finding what is hidden there,
Beyond the doubts of pain’s beware.
Why do you fear all I have sought?
Will all my searching be for naught,
In the dreams that I seek out,
Dispelling thoughts of mortal doubt,
Why do you ask of what I seek,
Is it that but you are weak?
And so I journey to the night,
Searching, seeking, of the light,
While all the while I feel your clasp
Restraining me as padlocked hasp,
Why is it that you cannot free,
Me from the night to lightness flee,
Why is it that you cannot see,
What it is I dream to be?

Tim:  I feel like you know me.  This is so WELL expressed....

So many thoughts flooded my mind
if I thought you were truly asking
a question to which there might be
an answer...

and for every reader...
there will be a different answer...

Good reading, Tim.  Thank you.
