Longing…
Beautiful
Sorrowful
Unforgettable reflections of what was
Dreaming of what could be
Grieving with seemingly no end
A heart and soul
With memory like an elephant
A river never full
Momentum never satisfied
An ache with no cause and no cure
An unspoken void
A search quest with no guide
No vantage point
A vision almost seen
~Amanda Bastiani
