On High, where I am not welcomed
by Lacy D PhillipsYour thoughts occupy some corner of the heavens
where I would need wings to follow.
Like a balloon escaped from a weak grasp,
my comprehension is soon torn from my command,
lost in the enormity of your intellect,
buffeted by the winds of your discourse.
It becomes so impossibly distant,
just a pinprick in the blue;
and I mourn my inability to pursue
with more than my eyes only
searching your face for meaning
I am helpless to obtain.
Like a child looking into the sun,
I cant understand it will harm me.
