Autumn Sky

A Poem About Wistful Epiphanies

It occurred to you again,
A juncture of your unwieldy reverie;
Where time holds no constraint,
But every moment fades into a memory

Lost in your own fairy tale,
Heart on your sleeve with head in the sand;
Chasing rainbows, hoping without fail,
Unwittingly falling in quicksand

But then you woke up from the dream,
To an ocean of bright cloudless blue;
Lucid images unfolding as they seem,
Casting out what you once hold true

Push and pull can only do so much,
Have to release what doesn’t serve you;
Castles in the air kept you out of touch,
You owe it to yourself to see things through

Your souls weren’t meant to tread the same course,
No matter how many detours you both take;
You could only meet halfway down the road,
And inevitably, part ways —

Never sharing an ever after.
