Into the Unknown

And you’re not even aware

With my head literally in the clouds on a cold chilly morn,

On top of the world incipient to a new adventure,

My thoughts turn to you unexplainably,

Knowing you’ve no idea where I venture.

🦅

Sun shining in the crystal blue sky,

As I sit and ponder your actions,

The miles grow between our fortitude,

Time and heartbreak full of distractions.

🦅

Are you happy?

Is life being all you need it to be?

I hold you dearly within my memories,

With no regrets to setting you free.

🦅

Soar high, destroying the boundaries of your mind,

Take your ability to annihilate your current fears,

Live as authentically as you plan,

Forget my heartbreak and consistent tears.

🦅

You may believe you’ve been forgotten,

And that’s fine within my mind,

However, it’s the furthest from the truth,

But I understand it’s time to leave it all behind.

🦅

The sun still shines and dawn awakens,

The world moves on if I’m not mistaken,

I’ll remember the hours we made into memories,

I can only attest you’ll never be forsaken.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
