Unattainable Poem by Caroline Bulleck

Searching for something
Yearning for that one thing
I had the unformed mass
All of it in my mind
But could not see or name it
In my heart it resided and grew
Never letting me forget it
Like a child in the womb
A masterpiece in progress
But never made to completion
This idea of mine was suddenly born, but not from me
It's tiny fragile soul ripped from my grasp
Gave life to another, identical
Exactly what I've been searching for
What I've been yearning for
Now this once mine driving power
Is an unattainable, taunting desire
