In Pursuit of Truth and Sharing
The more I retreat within myself,
the more I see beyond the horizon,
with all its chaotic pretense
and fashioned sobriety,
yet beneath the shallow artistry
of those who live in lies,
I still see potential,
if only through opened eyes.
Without the contentions of self,
and in balance of a purpose set,
life outside does settle,
into a world I can vet
and in acceptance live within,
despite the recklessness of sin,
chosen by drones of light-less life,
stumbling from one plight to another.
Alone and isolated,
I accept the choices I have made,
and in disbelief of others venting strife,
hurting, blaming and living in disarray,
I watch with no response,
allowing paths uninhibited by my thoughts
and in hope that learning
uplifts them, to understand.
Still, my work ensues,
each word a penance and a lesson to be sure,
and cathartic are my thoughts,
bled from life’s tragedies and more,
as within my bounds I soar
to new heights, new destinations
that implore my thirsting mind,
to listen.
No fear guides me here,
just a knowing of what to share
and with whom,
and that pretty much
sorts the wheat and chaff,
the aftermath not strewn with judgement
from those who have no clue,
about this soul in pursuit of truth.
