Unfinished



Unfinished

The two hours you see and never the twenty practiced
A book you read never witnessing the pages trashed
Yet infinity is your sadness if you started and never ended
Broken hearted upon reflection your art suspended

Within us all is the cry to witness
Whether it’s another’s or your own greatness
Satisfaction supreme is the finished dream
Regret as time closes doors is an unfinished scream

Emotions of the derelict and sadness of the afflicted
The energy available to be concreted and constructed
Happiness may flatten your artistic imagination
But nothing like starting and never finishing raises soul degeneration

Fly over the homes and see unfinished stories or poems
Look in closets and there you’ll see gathering dust guitars and violins
They remember or think about what could have existed
Then quickly move their minds away thinking if only they’d persisted
