We search, always seeking
Along this path before us
A lifetime, step by step
No map in our hand
Detours and byways
Rest stops are few
A lifetime, step by step
No matter our plan
Maybe one day we see
We never really left home
A lifetime, step by step
And yet here we still stand
Coming full circle.
Vision draws shapes of beauty
Imagined treasures
Of flowing lines
Between eyes and heart
Bound in want and need
Have and hold
Until death…
Destined to always part
Into shallow sight all will fall
Depths rarely seen
In blinding form
Rise to betray a heart
Put this life on hold
An old clock swings
The back and forth
No rhythm of rhyme
No rhyme or reason
Habits of old
No one to rewind
Unwound: Tick Tock
A light shines bright
Dispelling the darkness
From spark to flame
Brightening the night
With strength of heart
A soul so clear
Brings joy alive
Though so far apart
A mother is waiting
To hold her again
As days slowly pass
Anticipating
Until my last breath
My last gasp
I will be here
Trying to explain
The simplicity
We have lost
In the mêlée
We maintain
And to say Adieu
As I go from here
I will shed no tear
As I will see you soon.
Stoic & Buddhist
They say I am an odd one
Never fitting the square hole
Dismissive, and done
They say I am disconnected
Alienated to the world
Maybe mentally affected
Yet I am only this
Seeing beyond the words
Never a detail do I miss
And I love this world
Never so connected
The foundation unfurled
Every moment
I live to the last
Never did I own it
I used to see
I used to know
I used to watch
A simple shift
From watching
To being
One step
Forward
Now I am
(Stoic)
