My Soul Is a Shoreless Sea

"Untwisting all the chains that tie the hidden soul ..." Quote by _John Milton _________________ there is no roadmap for the ... voyage to my soul ... to find my authentic self the spiritual part of me needs to converse and soul is waiting behind this world I seek my spirit, heart, essence, core (my soul) ~ enlightenment is a pebble in the gloom, a fragile seed, a lone prayer to the vast darkness of passages and contrived corridors in my mind ~ so I fall into deep quietude where I can communion with my higher mind asking who am I meant to be, what is my purpose, who should I be I hunger in the silence ... for an answer ~ life is a stage, a fiddler and I, a lone dancer, where words in garish colors float and crash with withered memories in the dripping grey forest of my mind ~ perhaps God is the divine source to my life, my feelings, values, thoughts Oh, I am lost in a shoreless sea where my soul is disembodied, a separate thing (some think it even survives death) I have many scars on my roadmap ... I ponder ... life can be a fairytale ... or a ravaged garden it is a "choice" to make ... by self ~ I hear a quiet voice clear as dripping rain and my life stretches before me like an open road where old ways sail away in ships ... like sleeping swans .... and wisdom is the jewel I have found in ~ "the ragged meadow of my soul" Quote by- E.
