what it is

By Kat Myrman 
what it is

an elusive voyeur in the darkness
heaven, heavy with tears
is a rolling stone sculptor
the impossible longing of wistful souls
it is neither here nor there 
it is the butterfly you missed in passing
it is hungry bellies and disturbed minds
the inability to accept reality; to let go
the fruit of one’s labor unrealized
it is incessant wishfulness
the inevitable consequence of chaos
it is the primal rhapsody of humanity
