.: Above the Crowd :.
Dominating walls tower beyond
immaculate windows that display a
serene background to a moonlit world.
From aloft, chandeliers throw out
light that marks the beginning and
seemingly endless perimeter of the room.
The speeches are spoken, the due
words all have been said. Promises
have been fulfilled, favors returned.
They all turn about to enjoy each other’s
company; to mingle and familiarize
themselves with the other participants.
From around the world they’ve come and
from off of it. Today they collaborate here to
celebrate well fought and deserved harmony.
Glasses clink together, laughs are exchanged.
Above her drink, eyes dart across the wide
expanse in search of the once-departed, now-returned.
Oh, sweet victory, how bitter the taste of
recoil! Lost is the revered emotions of
one’s youth at such a callous charge!
Hands are shaken, congratulations are in
order. In each face he hunts for a certain
glimmer of verve that had once kept him alive.
What has been misplaced, given up, taken away?
Is this what we so desired? Haste, for as it
escapes, our outstretched hands might reach.
Time drags through, still the festivity marches
on. Leaving nothing for naught, she plunges
ahead and nearly meets him, a handbreadth away.
He moves further, unnoticing. She retreats,
opening an span of innumerable questions
that widens with the oncoming persons they meet.
What is it that you wish for? What is it that you
so fervently seek? Will your love-starved soul
reach those pearly gates in ecstasy?
Catching her eyes has never been harder.
Habitually, her named called was enough
to catch her ever wavering attention.
She couldn’t reach him, regardless of the
distance. She took “so close, so far” to heart
as she outlined their relationship from afar.
In the passage of a moment, above the crowd,
their eyes betray them. What has been left to lie
unspoken is brought forth in the opening of an eyelid.
Ocher has met emerald.
A bona fide smile,
A returned affection,
And the night passes on.
A spark, a bright, a shine; hither to, my friend,
and see the light shining through.
