Tracing Channels
you search in frenzy
thru the streets,
across the cities,
for that one peg
to fill your vacant
hole
to become whole
and no longer feel
that cry of loneliness
rip thru the terrifying
sleeplessness haunting
you every night.
you have performed the
perfect script taught to
you since you learned
to listen to that very
first rule that tattooed
itself as a reminder in
the
soft pink of your young mind -
the indelible words
running in your loneliness
like a 33 1/3 vinyl recording
stuck on repetition because
of that one word - why?
dug in deep into the groove
like a dam preventing the flow.
you must find the answer
for if you don't you'll
swear to your very soul
that the reasons for your
own life have been so reduced
that each breath of your lungs
produces fumes of disgust...
each beat of your heart
resonating as a warning signal
that your life shall not resume...
but you eventually, after
a long
vengeful battle,
come to the realization
the desperation was a dust storm
that blew remnants of the
past
into your puffy eyes
and you splash cold water
on your face and laugh
at the person that has just
washed themselves down
the drain
of disbelief.
you smile at your return
and feel at one with life
as that gaping hole,
now fully engorged,
leaving
you in a
state of satisfaction.

a nice raft down the river...especially fond of stanzas 2 and 3...
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Re: Tracing Channels
Yes, always nice to return, to snap out of a whatever circular spell(s) we slip into at times in back eddies along the river of life . . .

truth - the epiphany of realizing what we pursue might not matter at all - and the liberation of stopping, turning, and walking away. Like.
