For Those Who’d Be Unlovable…

Reach out and feel what should be yours by right; 
The cadence of a song that none have heard,
The measure of a breath that's full and light
Along a shore: a lonely boat, a bird --

And how you came to be where you are not:
The fuller you become a passing ghost
That all have seen and equal all, forgot,
A missing sign atop a broken post --

But you remember hope -- it was your claim
When everything you didn't know still glowed,
And so much seemed in reach, both love and fame,
While paying back much more than ever owed --

Our slipping grasp on all that missing peace,
Midst waves that ever lessen, never cease
