Castle

The castle in the sky

flies up so high

above the clouds near space.

I look up to see

the place so free,

but this yearning brings naught but pain.

It seems so different to down here,

where all is so queer. 

You can't show your true face.

But as time goes on

and the days grow long

you find your own pace.

Again, you look up, 

different from before,

and see the castle so high.

This time you can see

the castle walls gleam,

and it descends down and

opens its gate for thee.

Hi Glenn,
Thought I would read another one of yours before I go for lunch...
This one is interesting and quite different.
I have now read it a few times and have different thoughts each time.
I think my final thoughts on this is that the person is looking for answers and is unsure what to do. But then as he gets older he finds he knows more and sees things differently... And, this is what oh so many experience... They feel lost....
Thank you for sharing this,
Lisa
