Confidence shifting
Like rolling tides
Now vanished
Only life
Remains
Free
Wide open
Spaces
Frightening
Exciting
Alive
Uncharted
But free
Remaining open
Just as
They were
Meant to be
If anything
Was meant
To be
If anything
Was meant
At all
~~~
They could
Be captured
Grasped
Held
Only
To be
Set free
Sliding
Through the fingers
Remaining
A mystery
Never
To be held
Only
To be
Lived
