Unicorns in the Sand

Mind reeling and thoughts racing, emotions take over and tears drop like rain from the sky. Images pass through like birds in flight not stopping to take notice of the upheaval they cause. Dreams and desires, hopes and longings once locked up, break through that barrier and bind themselves to a consciousness much changed and confused.

Things once longed for and now not dared speak of rise to the surface again wondering, what if. Tamp them down; hide them away for fear of the pain they could cause. Tentative steps taken lead one to what the future now holds and breaths flow in and out, never ceasing their rhythm for fear that to stop may be not to start again. Uncertainty takes hold, wanting to please and yet so scared. What once was is not what is and what will be will never be what once was but will be something new, something yet to be discovered.

Fear takes hold and can only be undone by the touch of those close to heart. Without those near, surely all would be forsaken. And yet hope stays on, providing the will to survive, the will to make things better. The heart once shattered heals and tentatively moves forward, desiring a bond no longer there.
