A beautiful notion isn't it? Ironic even The thought of waiting here like this As if the act is somehow blessed with ease When all around you is in motion And you are as unstirring as the trees Rooted deep within the mind Looking at the other side And seeing the blissful, beautiful ignorance How often I wish it could be mine That I had no such standards as this And that I could swallow such a feeble line Just like a fish Nibbling on a willow wisp In an ocean seemingly full of fish Believe me… I respect such idealism as this Because I live with it But to “just wait” and stay like this At present holds little hope for me Both to and from this someone else There is no transfer, or passage of peace Because these few years feel like an eternity And so the term… “The right one?” Makes want to say... “Oh please.”

The Right One
