Longing

Written by Amanda Bastiani from Russell Sage College - Troy — NY

Longing… 


Beautiful 

Sorrowful 

Unforgettable reflections of what was

Dreaming of what could be 

Grieving with seemingly no end 

A heart and soul 

With memory like an elephant

A river never full 

Momentum never satisfied 

An ache with no cause and no cure

An unspoken void 

A search quest with no guide

No vantage point 

A vision almost seen 


~Amanda Bastiani
