In Search of Me

On a cold, summer day in a desolate, dry land deserted by a forest who thought too highly of itself to be associated with such a place Travailing on a journey what I'd like to call 'My Wilderness Experience' without knowing in which direction I should travel looking back, remembering, yet perplexed with the inability to see from whence the journey began In pursuit of the promise an existence flowing with hopes and dreams realized My perseverance is plagued with disparity The day seems dark and the night traps the star's light allowing its illumination to be arrested on its descent to earth, Jupiter, and Mars I scream No one comes, no echo, the sound is swallowed by the cracks in the surface of fear My heart beats with thumps of indignation the blood thins in my veins My tongue and lips are joined as one in a plot of sweet revenge My mind begins to sunder into plains and valleys Chimerical to the naked eye Humorous to the haughty Continuing my journey while contemplating, anticipating, my long awaited arrival.
