“She was never asking for too much. She was just asking the wrong person.”

MY POEM FOR THIS PAINTING:

For so long she carried the dream in silence,
folded neatly between the pages of her days.
It was easier to tell herself it was too much,
to shrink her asking into something smaller,
something safe.

But dreams are patient.
They wait in the shadows,
gathering strength with every secret glance
toward the life she longed for.

Her desire was never unreasonable—
it was direction.
A compass disguised as restlessness,
a whisper disguised as doubt.

And then the moment came—
quiet, undeniable—
when she understood:
what she sought had been seeking her all along.

So she turned,
not because she was ready,
but because she was called.
And the horizon no longer seemed that far away.
