I know where this path leads.

In search of answers
I was
Found it &
Now I feel lost

In search of answers
I was
Running miles
Found it
To realise
I was running
In circles all along

In search of answers
I was
Distracted
Running in different directions
Fractionated
A two headed snake
Found myself in a maze

In search of answers
I was
Found
Every effort undone
Back to square one

In search of answers
I was
Found
Myself trying to outrun
Dilemma
A battle lost or a battle won?

In search of answers galore
I was
Found it
Clueless
Now I feel more vaccum and void
Than before

I love to watch egrets fly
white wings glide past me
in concert
as I pause my morning stroll
my spirit not the least bit shy
joins the beautiful congregation
soaring through the twinkling blue

It's the life we live that makes the shadows
The mirrors of our own souls
For man is not what he appears to be
But what he hides in the darkness
It all comes down to being the mirror of the shadow lying in the darkness
For what man thinks is hidden will come to light so why wait?

One life, darling, in this form, at least
One day the sun won’t rise any more in the east
For you, at any rate. Will you be able to say
On that final day, when Fate takes your breath away
You lived it to the fullest?
Made it beautiful even in the second that seemed the dullest?
Here is my advice – do something mad once in a while,
Something that the thought of makes you smile
Not just with delight, but with amusement, too
At its absurdity in it being something you wouldn’t ordinarily do
Take a chance – Take a run, make a dance,
Don’t be shy, and write to that acquaintance,
Compliment a stranger, take photos of ducks,
Order the wackiest ice cream, smile on those times when you’re down on your luck
Because you were brave, and because you dared
To live your life in the truest way that you cared.

Let us not talk
about family

My father
is the word absence

And my mother
is the word fear
