And Again

And again I miss the nothingness And again I yearn for something which isn't there Never was and Never will be And again the tear of joy becomes a drop of myrth upon pink lips Incense of ashes with golden ends And again I wonder Why I'm still here Why do i come back What for ? I must leave I must go Afar from a shelter which won't protect me Distant from a nest which dripples honey in empty wells Wells too shallow to get to And again I have to travel to a place I do not know to a horizon without a line And again I'll be the vagabond not to be searched for nor to be found.

The first reading it seemed sad, but on second reading I got a sense of almost hope that you will reach your goal. Beautiful poem.
