untitled poem

I fell into your shadow, 

chasing after the wind,

Falling into the depths of oceans

never touching its floor;

children reach skyward

for clouds they cannot touch.

I aspired to be what I am not,

yearned for heights so human;

children do not notice

that pedestals are for none.

So I found another shadow,

one who touched Ocean's floor

and spanned immortal skies,

Endless chasing endless.
