Almost... Does It Count?


Almost felt it's smooth, velvet ambiance
Almost visualised the depth of it's rich colours
Almost walked into it's manifested reality
Almost skipped in tune to it's heart beat
Almost dared to think happiness had finally found me

Almost lived within the realms it's essence
Almost stepped onto the platform of its staged promise
Almost got bestowed with its constant presence
Almost got caught up in it's talked about relevance

Almost took a ride in a beautiful white carriage
Almost understood the meaning of becoming
Almost went on a road trip into forever after
Almost got ready to love with renewed courage
Almost lived the reality of my hearts desire

Almost does not count... but we learn what we have to learn from every "almosts" and keep stepping till we get to the fufilment of our dreams..... where "almost" will become irrelevant....

I cannot add anything to what the anonymous comment above has beautifully said. Almost doesn't count, but it is a part of the learning experience...a part of our lives...

This is really beautiful. Deep.

I agree with Jaycee. We're all tread this path. It's a common feeling.

By the way, I love the poem, it is so beautiful, but I am not liking why shall.
