WHERE IS THE LIGHT

Where is the light
everyone is lost and I with them
I reached foryou and grasp nothing
I look for order in chaos
and I only succeed in viewing despair
I laugh at the fruitless games
I need for myself to play them
The horror of irrationality sickens me
The horror of rationality terrifies me
The light is with me always
but when I whirl to confront the light
it escapes me and the frustration tears me
Sounds - sights - smells - tastes
only hide the mist
I must always face it and I quake with anger
There is no release only temporary escape
and everything within me must soon explode
and even now I know I lie for I cannot even
explode - and I must remain intact
until I may view the light once more

YET

 

Life is so well ordered
yet so chaotic
I am soaringly joyous
Yet desperately sinking
Deliriously happy
In the depths of depression
Sure of everything
Yet unsure of all else
Confident and marching forward
Yet wondering and glancing back
I am a man of the future
Yet the past holds me
I detach from tradition
Yet cling to it for nostalgia
I ask questions asked by thousands
Before me
Yet none of the thousand answers
Satisfies me
My thirst is unquenchable
Yet I cannot tell what my thirst is
My mind is filled with novels
Yet I cannot write them down
I am an old soul
Yet I feel as vulnerable as a child
I am not afraid of death
Yet I am afraid of dying.
There is a reason why life has pushed me
Through so much?
Yet who knows, Yet who cares?


Discovery

 

Today is a beautiful day.

The rays of sunlight filtered through the sentinel of trees this morning.

I sat by the river, sipped my coffee, and contemplated.

The serenity, beauty of my feelings and surroundings completely captivated me…

I though of you.

 I discovered you tucked away in the shadows of the trees,

on smiles of the flowers as the sun penetrated the petals,

in the rhythm of the leaves falling upon the stream,

and in the freedom of the robin as he flew searching…

As I do.

 I have no doubts in my heart that you are always with me,

as I have no doubts, the soul of the earth is in the stream, the trees, the flowers, and the robin.

 I am very happy to have found you.

Now you will never leave me, for I will always find you in the beauty of life.
