The words I didn't say

Collected thoughts  
Fill the glass  
Half full
And  
Half empty  
The words  
I couldn't grasp  
To say  
To  
You  
I now toss  
Up to the stars  
And pray  
They find their way  
To where  
You  
Are...
I hope  
The view is grand  
I hope  
The chains  
Have been unclasped
From your hands
. . .
 
I'll find you  
Both  
In the man  
That I am
And the one  
I ought  
Never become...
Soon
The you  
I once knew  
Will be spread throughout  
Your homeland
Both  
Mountain and meadow
By two men
Who see
The world anew...
Both with  
And without
You...
I wish  
I could see your face  
Witnessing life  
As it unfolds  
And  
Takes place...  
How the wonder  
Overcomes
Watching the distance  
Build measure  
From where  
The apple comes from...
Deep breathes  
Grant little air  
For the roof  
Has been lifted  
Leaving the insides  
Vulnerable  
And bare...
 
Collected thoughts  
Fill the glass  
Half full
And  
Half empty  
The words  
I couldn't grasp  
To say  
To  
You
I now toss
Up to the stars
