Gateways and Pearls

She soars on the wings of a song
A song of love, a song of truth
A song touching the soul
A song extracting every bit of pain
From an afflicted heart

He rides on the crest of a lingering wind
A wind devoid of worries, a wind of certainty
A wind instilling within his chest, hope
A wind blowing away the clouds of despair
From a dejected self

Together, they glide effortlessly
Into a promise
Etched into the eyes of none
But the two
As one

Unfulfilled

On the eroded ground

Lies a path for the fallen rain

A stream with no sound

A flood of waste

Through the dawn of his life

Filters a golden ray of light

An assurance of a bright warm sun

A fore gleam of an eternal luminance

Clouds - dark and murky

Shrouds a gift of power and beauty

He lived and died a “potential”

Never attaining his true stature

His life was a dream

A dream, unfulfilled
