This Is All I Know...
It's a lot like the road going nowhere
this path I;ve been walking.
Heart directs head directs feet that trudge
onward ever onward to...where?
I can't really understand why I am
not progressing at SOME pace.
One that would bring me closer to the
truth I have been seeking all my life.
I know so many and so many seem to
know me. Yet I am lost to the
connection that most have with others
in their circle of closeness.
If you want to know the truth about it
I am really quite tired at this point
the constant trial and error and the
endless beginning and ending.
I can say from experience that the only
real constant, truly, is change.
It has been my only companion and single
most important truth everyday.
And once again I am here and alone with
nothing as a point of reference but
the sound of my own voice in the
form of the musings in my head.
It is said that no man is an island and
yet some of us trudge through this
life in an incessant journey to the
outer limits of the innter soul.
My rant? No...No...I am just one soul
pondering the riddle of my own
descent into loneliness and lack the
internal vision to understand why.
I think all of us have felt that way at
one point or another along the way.
You know...that "Why am I HERE at THIS
point" with nothing to show for the trouble.
If you think hard about it, it is the
ultimate lover's lament. No love is so sad
as unrequited love because there is NO love.
I am a man with a dimly lit soul living in a
brightly lit world ever on a path of it's own
expansion. And while I once was in wonder of
that world, I see no place anymore save mine.
So it is here I walk to gain some sense of
that ME that is missing and has not been
heard from for some time because a heart broken
is a heart surrendered to its sadness.
Where is the light I once enjoyed in my house?
Where is the love that once was in so much
abundance wherever I went? Why does my soul ache
so much now that my heart is always a drop away from torrent?
Can anyone reconstitute this broken spirit?
Can anyone uburden this heavy heart?
Can anyone return the light to dark eyes?
Can anyone hear and answer my plea?
