Sehnsucht

Longing…
The good without the bad
The joy of the hopeful
Despair of the blind and dead

Memory…
Of the best of life’s bliss
Parents, siblings together
The rush of love’s first kiss

Anticipation…
For the never yet been place
Delight before, not after
Vision that brings tears to the face

Missing
A long heart-breaking ache
Poetry without music
The dance and race of the lame
