One fine day

A Poem by Abraxasbird

"Volumes that would make a second flitter aloof So grand they would condense the whole of a human experience"

Just a step beyond the realms
Of conversations and confessions,
Intonations ache to be heard,
But remain forever withheld

Stirred by every emphatic soul I happen upon
They rile within, pressing against the barriers of life
So much so I believe any individual near me
Can hear my thoughts as they bubble within my skull

Telepathically I convey my message:
I've tried so hard..
Because I've been let down so many times now
I've applied myself with every fiber of my being
And still it has not been enough
There must be more..

More to me that I cannot see,
There must be something missing,
There must be something I am not offering..

Even with redoubled efforts,
Twice lain stratagems,
And all the purity in me... I fail
...So I invest myself further

Waiting everlong, these words pander,
Yearning to hear a response
That perhaps might only be whispered by a God
Hidden within the confines of a human soul;
These words I know

I have heard them in my dreams,
Both sincere and sweet, they day I hear them
I know my heart will go weak and sink
While my soul will take flight and attempt to escape me
Beaming directly towards that gorgeous source of evanescent beauty
Who found favor with me

No I don't wish to flood the universe
With what my expectations of what they may be
They could be words of encouragement,
Words of understanding, words that scald
With a staggering sincerity,

Volumes that would make a second flitter aloof
So grand they would condense the whole of a human experience;
All of your hardships and victories, losses and loves, hopes and ambitions,
Doubts and your fears, scars and all the blood shed upon lamentations and tears
Succinctly into one beautiful moment paraded before you in a few simple words..

These words will resound loud and triumphant one day
And no matter where I am, where I am going,
Where I may have come from, or who I am with,
They will be a call to arms, an indelible reminder
To return the empathy that was given to me
The world will then finally be..

...My family.
