Floating

I wander in a daze
A rolling stone forever on the move
Always on a journey to somewhere far away

I search incessantly
Seeking out the new
The secret
The haunting
I pursue dreams that never become reality
I am always lost

The allure of the unseen view
The pull of the oppressive fantasies in my head
Propel me stubbornly onwards

I set myself no target
Nor do I need a plan
I roll and just
Keep rolling on

I drift
I float
I stumble headlong
Into a new day that
Is the same as any other

I leave people and things behind
My back is always to the past
My anxieties about tomorrow
Eternally Push me on

I have just a few unintended regrets
That haunt me occasionally
I sometimes care not what I leave behind
I like to keep my own company

No roots I lay down to stifle me
I want space and
Moving on is best for me

I sustain myself through
Myself alone
NO ONE gets attached too long to me
I often act selfishly
In order to protect me

I feel lonely fleetingly
I sometimes doubt my sense of irresponsibility
I am not often true to me

I resist strongly the urges to stop
Turning back is pointless to me
I always find a reason to
Keep moving on

Allan Login to Reply Evrod Samuel Date: 9/23/2013 7:00:00 PM thank you..it is a sad poem yes...was a reflective mood that caused me to write it ..I do land but I have to rush on ..its like when you are in a plane and its landing but as it touches down it speeds up and lifts off. I have been in a plane a few times when that happen and seen it happen from the viewing platform at heathrow....my life has no structure at moment
