Reach For The Stars

when life gets in your way. like a giant tsunami wave.
you drown under its influence. an underwater grave.
you are thwarted. your plans slapped out of your hands.
aborted. sinking. you don't understand.
it hits you hard. it keeps you away. from what you want.
what you've been working for. it keeps your
reach out of your grasp. you're always reaching. and
life is always stretching the space between you and
what you're reaching for. in time, the distance would
be as great as the difference between stars.
