Trapped

Trapped,

Caught between the here and the hereafter,

Struggling for balance,

One that never comes,

Placating beings unseen,

In hopes of eternity,

Uncertain of belief or disbelief,

Wanting to live for today,

Distressed over what’s after tomorrow,

Something out of grasp,

Held back, but from what,

Myth, legend, some grand fairy tale,

Trapped between faith and science,

Trapped until I reach tomorrow.

 

~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
