I ask myself often
if it’s worth risking
everything.
I wonder and pray.
I question and consider.
Will things really be
different?
Or will this longing
still lurk in the
shadows?

Your poem is very striking and powerful. I hope that things work out as they are meant to, and that whatever the outcome may be, that you have a great peace with it. Thanks for sharing your emotions!
You leave me wondering. I love the image of longing lurking in the shadows.
