Chrissy Horning - Hands

Crossing... <br />Bridges that crumble behind me <br />Streets that bear no names <br />Realms I refuse to grasp <br /> <br />Waiting... <br />For those who lag behind <br />For courage and will when I falter <br />For triumph and truthfulness <br /> <br />Stopping... <br />To realize who's beside me <br />To inhale a deep breath and exhale relief <br />To lavish in my vision of an extraordinary existence <br /> <br /> <br />My dreams of flying are inevitably disrupted <br />I awake to find my wings are clipped <br />I gaze at my hands in awe of their power <br />Assured of their strength to clutch a firm grip.<br /><br />Chrissy Horning<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hands-18/
