Musings Vol. 17

Slashing at the clean air it bleeds
Confound dreams pour from the wounds
Crisp is the air that pours from the sky
The clouds depart in the blink of an eye
This whirling mass of emotions gathers dark clouds
Rain begins to fall
Thunder shakes the earth
Dreams shatter in an instant
Fragile hearts retreat in fear
My journey begins here
Traversing the earth in search of wonder
My hopes pile sky high
Climbing even higher on this mountain
Looking back in fear
I commence my journey
Taller as the mountain grows
Crashing dreams that fall like the earth I tear away as I climb
My determination wanes
Even further do I dream
Even further do my hopes climb
As this mountain grows taller
As these fears gather
My journey continues
Not knowing eternity
I remain here
In this crevice I seek shelter
In this crevice I build my home
Seeking solace in my fears
Seeking freedom in isolation
These shackles remain here
Binding me
As time passes these chains corrode
Hope remains to guide me
I climb even further to reach the top
I see the earth
I see wonder
I see hope
All the strength that I have used
All the hopes that I brought with me
They fly away carried by this wind
They scatter and cover the earth
Finding me wherever I go…
