You’ve been searching for a long time.
And here now at the terminus of all roads—it ends.
It ends how it began—with you.
A figment of your mind
A facsimile of what could be.
You’ve been hiding away for a long time.
The sun burns like a lashing tongue,
The wind against your skin threatening
A shredding and shedding.
You’ve been running amid pursuit of dreams
Never quite sure where ambition leads
Wondering willful with woeful mind
Whether these nightmares rob me blind?
It begins with you and first fated steps
Beyond what you know into unknown depths
Out from under a fragile shelter
Into the magnitude of eternity’s breath.
It continues to infinitude
Amalgamed peace a striving reach
Memories playing anxieties
Manifesting movie screens.
You’ve been longing for the never seen
Only touched in deepest sleep
Out of reach, a life desired
Given credence by way of fire.
Perhaps this starvation from all we aren’t:
Keeps us moving
Keeps us running
Keeps us hoping
Keeps us healing
Keeps us searching
It begins where it ends, then on to the next.
