[NaPoWriMo 2015] Yearning

Just like that, I finished another poem for NaPo. I originally wanted to publish this one for my entry, but I couldn’t finish it earlier, so that’s why I made another one instead. But when I saw this in my notepad program, I didn’t want to just erase it all, so I thought, “hey, why not finish it?”

And there you have it.

Again, this is for the second prompt.

Yearning

Why do we purposely connect things that are unrelated? Associating stars with wishes, spaces in-between as links making awe-inspiring images— why do we choose to project our symbols somewhere else? All around us we have enough signs to use as guides for things that happen in our lives yet we still choose to look further the greater the distance, the greater the yearning why do we wish to attain what is not here?

Do we find comfort in our faraway thoughts That we yearn what we don’t have and what we have lost? Do we fill in the emptiness that is inside of us with the uncertainty of what’s to come? Is that the reason why we associate stars with wishes and the spaces in-between serve as links to make our hopes and dreams?
