Leaning Forward
A poem about yearning for the next thing
By Jaci SchreckengostPublished 4 months ago • 1 min read
The world tilts forward —
or is that me? Leaning,
searching, desperate for
the next thing, even if I
don’t know what it is yet.
Too eager for the world
to turn a corner, to push
the curtain aside and
show me all the tricks
up its sleeves.
I’m leaning forward,
looking for the secrets.
Too eager to reach the
finish line. Forgetting the
process is the whole point.
