Fair trade

A whiff of victory,
A luscious, tantalizing aroma
Of a higher realm
Almost within reach
Almost
But not quite
So deceptively close
But
So perilously far
And yet I’ve set off on that journey
Abandoned the safety of predictability
For the fragile dream that
Cries for realization

Is that fair trade
Is that viable,
Feasible?
I wouldn’t know
We were never taught economics of the heart
That dreams
Of things even beyond
The realm of intangibility.
