insurmountable

tides envelop,
taking us further out.
out into the vastness, possibility.
what awaits restless souls condemned to wander,
frantically seeking truth, release?
up into the light.
time to face the crowd.
places please.
incomplete.
embrace the hollow glow.
too many smiles.
pretenses.
constitution wearing thin.
we are the same,
you and i.
we are left wanting in the lack of absolutes.
scratching backwards.
no more patience to pretend.
climb ever up and onward
unto a place of completion.
openness.
solitude.
solution.
resolution.
eternity.
so much trudging.
on and on.
those golden shores await.
we place delicate leather laces around our feet,
as, once again, we attempt the climb.
hand and hand we make our way.
we make our way divine.
