Expected Realty

Expected Reality
By: Clara Logan

She roots like a tree.
Grounded in disappointment and hope,
He remains a restless reality.
Her heart learned to cope,
her branches scarred by wounds none could see
only failures in memories’ scope.

Her heart stretched to the ends of the ocean-
impossible to overflow.
Crashing waves of ever-changing emotion
encouraged resilient roots to grow.
Comfort in the commotion,
something very few could know.
