It's the distance
The ever-present space
It's uncrossable
Defying me
But day by day I test it's limits
Hoping that in the barrier I feel,
The barrier that I can almost touch,
Has a weakness
So that I can slip in
And find my footing
And run
Run that distance between us
Leap across that boundary that hinders me
And cross into the impossible
The unthinkable
I strain to see what awaits
But it blurs and twists together
An obstacle as formidable as that barrier
And yet still I push
No blacks
No whites
Just a swirling mix of gray
I know not what I face
But I'm driven by determination
I'll find out one day
What is hiding in the shadows
