Chasing The Unattainable Poem by Matthew Holloway

That which sits beyond reach
The unrequited dream
The questions left unanswered
Of what could possibly be
Hands held out to the fates
As though in prayer or plea
Let this dream, this thought
This as yet unknown desire
Be realised and felt in fact
Birth life to all such hope
Is such longing merely wistful
As a wasteful act in time
To chase the uncapturable pray
The treasure of a souls dream
To hold faith in chance
That one day it may be
No longer that which it seems
Chasing the unattainable
