Longing

Sometimes longing is all we have. Sometimes that's enough.

Silently 

I watch you make

a world your own

in which you take

the simplest things

that you've been given

and make them shine

in life we live in.

Longingly 

I wonder how

you know so much.

You've strived 'til now

to be the one 

you're meant to be

while all the world

smiles breathlessly.

But longingly, 

my arms know now

the purpose in

your furrowed brow

as you persist

complexity

to be your best 

sincerely.

You`ve described admiration so well and so simply. A beautiful example of a soft, musical poem. Well done. P.

This is a very lovely and simple poem. Yes simple but in my eyes I love simple poems as that is how I write. I like them because they are to the point and you don't have to try to interpret each word. So I think this is a very good poem and I just love the word, "Longingly" that you used in this piece.

Longing is good, dreaming keep the spirit alive...I agree longing is enough at times.
