Infinity
walking to reach the stars
Nothing ever changes
no progress ever made
Timeless
the stars before my eyes
I reach out to touch them
missing by a billion miles
Seemingly within reach
a life of grasping nothing

Thank You!!
Thank You for Your entry: Endless
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and while I was reading which I did several times- I kept seeing DaVinci and the picture of the Vitruvian Man I believe it is called
also seeing The Time Machine...the actual machine-
hearing words: Genetics...and IQ
Now~ Your last two lines...I am given the phrase:
like grasping straws...hearing: getting the shorter end of the stick- always at the receiving end type of reference but being shown like a fish on a hook
eventually with the right bait...You will catch something~
Hopefully this makes sense~
Powerful images You have brought forth
These lines grabbed and pulled~
I reach out to touch them
missing by a billion miles .
Magnificent Voice spoken~
Thank You for sharing Your Heart also Spirit!
Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
**Judging will be done shortly...
Many blessings too
and much love~ Desire~*~~*~

Best of Luck in the contest,
SILENCED ONE
