Screen

I think the point I was trying to make was regarding barriers, physical or mental, that stop us from getting what we want, or getting something back that was lost.

Hopes and dreams

Behind a screen

Never able to reach

Through the shield of transparency 

A screen like a glass sheet

You see what you want, but it’s not yours to keep

So push your hands against the glass

Wishing for the past

When that screen did not stand

What you wanted was in your hand

It’s gone now
