Unclaimed – Ian Perlman

outside and afraid
searching for something
a connection not made

once beating with exuberant pace
a heart tripping with passion
be patient, it’s not that type of race

heading towards light
emerging from darkness
heavy and daunting, gather your might

a train pushing on, stuck on the rails
the brakeman says no
I only chart the trails
