anytime soon
encouraged by the opportunities
but puzzled by general discord
he is newly confused each day
from a place very near
that yet seems far away
he strives for understanding
tentatively reaching
achingly wanting
he fears his own freedom
perhaps to stay caged is to be fed
perhaps to escape is to be hungry
he considers and worries
caught inside his own dreaming
he waits the arrival soon of his intention
an apprentice arriving late to the place of his own choosing, trying to grasp his own purpose, wanting feet on ground, wanting to fly
