POEMS BY ME
Catching a Glimpse
Flickers of light
Buzzing by.
Endless discoveries.
You catch
A
Glimpse of what could be.
You notice perhaps,
You hope.
Then you ask the question
Will it be better this time?
You squint,
The image is hazy
It is fraught with confusion.
You seem dazed.
Perhaps in the corner
Of your eye
You realize
You can never contain or sustain it.
You only catch a glimpse of
The cherished,
The budding,
The unrealized.
Yet
You continue to Hope.
Convincing yourself
To chase the flickers of light.
I guess catching a glimpse is better
Than not seeing it at all.
