What Does It Mean?

What does it mean to dream of lost ones?

To wish and yearn for a past that never was?

What does it mean to believe in someone?

And hold secrets in your heart for eternity?

What does it mean to not know the future?

But wander through timelines that can’t exist?

What does it mean to seek solace in obscurity?

And to choose to be forgotten rather than seen?

It means that there are places we cannot go.

And dreams we can never fulfill.

It means our hopes are dashed in a darkness unknown.

And yet we stand again to face a mysterious calling.

And so it cannot be.

And yet it must be.

That we reflect the image of the divine.

That we burden ourselves so that others may feel light.
