Reaching for the Impossible (A Poem)

Posted on by

The trees wanted to be still,

But the breeze rustled their leaves;

The grass wished to stand tall,

But the wind forced it to bend-

The heart wanted to love,

Yet, the mind feared it all.

The soul craved to be understood,

But the world conspired against the truth;

The waves would’ve liked to reach the moon,

Alas! The distance was insurmountable-

And I wished to conquer the universe,

Yet, couldn’t even make a single real connection.
