Abyss

It’s incredibly beautiful in there,
With that long, shimmering hair,
This girl that I miss,
With eyes that reel into the abyss.

It’s a road not traveled,
And one not likely soon to be,
But it’s an enticing road,
That stretches long beyond the horizon.

There’s that smile,
The one that brightens any room,
The one that stirs the curiosity,
And makes one long for a return to a life of lore.

Wanting, but held fast by the daunting,
Rigid, mesmerized, sinking into that wonderfulness,
Connected at yet another moment in time,
Only to be shattered by the approach of another.

A mission – to create those moments,
To generate that electrifying stillness in time,
To willfully embrace the abyss.
