Earthbound

We awake from our daily death with morning
greeting us once again. What is there to fear?
Sleep is a comfort for us earth bound creatures.

To dream and be awake. Bittersweet emotion.
A flood of memory. An imagined life. Paths
and possibility. Morning in bed with you.
Warmth that is missed. Why the feeling of
being cheated? Our lives bound to the wheel
of time and money. Years slipping by when
all we want is happiness and love. To love
and be loved. To be free to be wholly one
self. Time passes. Days pass. Nights pass.
What of this life? How much remains. Will
I ever see you again? Will I ever hold you
in my arms again? Will we ever share a
peaceful silence in each others company
once more? Paths yet to be taken remain
before us.What are we to do with ourselves?
