The Gap

The gap
between where
we want to be
and
where we are.

That distant, flickering light.
A destination
across a misty vale.
A path we compare
to peaks not yet climbed—
envy
that deceives us.

But this desire
can also be
our compass,
if we let it guide us
along the path.

Without the
undiscovered ground
beneath our feet,
there would be
no summit reached,
no moments of elation
defining who we become.

That distant place
we seek,
once reached,
is left behind
like a memory fading. 

Savor the path itself.
Stop chasing horizons, 
and let the rugged ground 
beneath our feet,
be enough—
already everything we need.
