Behind the Mountain Poem, by maydanae, at My poetic side

The only way I can think
To describe the feeling
Of being "behind" is this:

I see a mountain in the distance
The blends of her bends exquisite
A cottage atop her crown
Structured in melancholy
Stability amongst the scent of pine

There lies a happy family waiting
Patiently they search for future me
But current me feels lost

I catch glimpses of their figures now
Ghosts of all I yearn for, now
I can almost taste their warmth
A soft cheek to caress and a lover
To embrace, feels so close

Craving so badly, but it's not for me yet

Comment from author about the poem: I pride myself in focusing a lot of time and energy into growth and bettering myself because I want to see myself in a better light and live a happier and more fulfilling life. However, this comes with downfalls too, for I find myself in situations where I encounter people who are at a place in their lives that I yearn to be in. As I claw towards getting to that point quickly, I have realized there is not anything I can change except allowing myself more time to grow, which is the hardest thing. The tide of life seems to wedge me between the riverbed and canyon as I witness those I only wish to connect more with pass me by. Truthfully, I do not know if I will see these people again, but I can't help but think that if I was at a different point in my life than maybe things would go differently.
