I traveled my mind through times lost pages,
Searching my soul through unwanted stages.
Wasn’t me I was seeking but an unlikely foe,
Ageing tides and raging winds and a shadow unknown.
Thus started, my journey saw no ending. Infinite; forever; always.
Always the shadows; constant shadows, no wisdom just a blinding haze.
But what shadow I sought ? Perhaps was my wish to be free,
Capture it I couldn’t was just a long lost memory.
I reached and I reached ,stretching so very far,
But was only a glimpse I saw of my bright shiny star.
“Faith,” I cried, “Faith,” I did forlornly scream,
Believe, believe no matter how impossible it might seem.
So restless my thoughts, not a memory left along the way,
Aye, and a rainbow of tears for a life I lived each day.
Ancient ghosts, old memories, shadows beneath my door,
Leave me be, for you don’t haunt me anymore.
