Waiting for something that cannot be held,

only a feeling of some confidence. Seems

the vacancy in the air around me imitates

a sound like an echo in all my dreams.

I’ve been trying to find a balance all day,

those emotions slap in the face in a second.

Trying to find some direction with my angst,

Is it real or just another volley of uncertainty?

Once in another state we came to realize

life could remain the same with allowances.

Standing now in the doorway waiting to depart.
