No Wings Yet

No Wings Yet
...life goes on...

Limitless is the horizon.
always there,
right in front of me:
Oh, how I long to see
what's beyond that edge,
that precipice
in space and time.
No matter how I quest,
I cannot get to where
the other side is clear
just that I know
it's near.
And yet, it's not time
for I have much to rhyme
and do and say and be
here in this place,
my earth cocoon,
until I grow my wings.
