Lost Soul

Endlessly eternal, 
unquenchable thirst, 
everlasting longings,  
linger, insatiable moments
of musky, lotus scent,
a yearning for oblivion,
that it may all pass by. 
  
I fly, spiralling upwards, 
into dense clouds,
horizons simmer,
as I wander aimlessly
through distances of vast spaces, 
billion galaxies pass by, 
turning, revolving, burning. 

Eyes terrified, closed. 
I wonder: 
would this passage ever end? 
Or is this a dream? 
Where does reality begin
or delusion end?

Such deeply stirring thought Victor. It really is almost terrifying to think about it. My sister once asked me when I was little "Where do you think the universe begins and ends?" I said, "I don't know, it must start and end somewhere!" Then she asked me, "What's before the beginning and beyond the ending?" It actually scared me! She was trying to get me thinking, boy did she. She too was tying the subject into eternity, where does time begin and end? And of God, wow, such deep thoughts. I was only six or seven. Captivating imagery in your words and thought reminded me of that moment of long ago.

This is a powerful verse of searching for answers. The billions of galaxies brings a sense of the physics of life.

Love this extra terrestrial experience. It must have been a lovely feeling floating high weightless and passing through galaxies, though it be a dream.

Very deep questions posed- I have a belief that life is kind of like a wheel. Wishing you well today-

In-depth latitudes throughout, an introspection conveyed with scrutinized forethought, Aloha.

Brilliant Victor. Well said. There is no permanent, exact answer to your question. That is what infinite is.

Victor, we see things differently and what is one's reality is another's delusion. LOL.. If you ask, ten people about a scene, more than likely they will all have a different version and each would be right in their reality. Sara K

Dear Victor, I know how it feels to be lost and lonely, there’s just me and hubby, two lonely souls growing old… Beryl

- A deeply emotional poem, Victor - Feels like a state of confusion, sadness and anxiety, where a person feels disconnected from themselves ... and life - hugs
