Restless
Restless

Restless the feet that went wandering,
still hungry for horizon receding
but betrayed by the body’s decay,
the years a weight overbearing
on desire to do more than just settle;
so the limbs take the rest uncomplaining
while the mind sets the sails unfurling,
takes the helm on the sea of “I wish.”

Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 09.01.21
