Day 56: Look Closely

How close can you get without touching it

You can see it

You can feel it

You want it

You crave it

But

you just can't embrace it all

because

it is too much to fathom

or

you just aren't ready

or

you are afraid

because

What will it demand of you

What will you have to give up

What will you have to change

To get way beyond close

so that it consumes all of you.

But something

just something

keeps you from getting

too close
