A Hunger Unfed

An unforgotten depth, An unreached ground, Answers haven’t been found, A dim lamp stands in the corridor. He sojourns with a vague understanding, He seeks to know the reason for his troubles, To find the path out of the gloomy bubbles, He has searched the deep for a reap. He has walked out of the night, He has sojourned to the light, The tendrils of the night still trail him, He has seen its different sides The book hasn’t answered all his questions, The sages say it’s a purposed intention, He still journeys to redemption, Until time and age bring him completion.

Wow, this is a deep poem with effectively written imagery. I especially liked: 'tendrils of the night still trail him" The last verse spoke to me, 'he still journeys to redemption, until time and age bring him completion.' Those words speaks volumes about journey; it's a process that requires patience and courage. Well done! A fave!
