With lines of finitude painted cream And light I sit alone with no one In waiting Stalling for what, you may ask? A putrid letter on my lap The misshapen form appears in front of you A laugh out of uneasiness Traveling to a foreign land Hand print teller's of one dollar fortune A mistake of love And if I were to open up myself up completely Would you even have the time to listen? Who does anymore? Really listen? The intricacies of sound entering one's ear Has been ***** and abused There is So much Noise Now There is very little silence to remind us What is waiting behind Each of our very own doors Turn away Run and hide Surround oneself With battlements High walls Chain mail and all But, do remember, That will not protect you From every man's Fall Absent memories of past-lives Float on the fornicating River of our parent's lie's They've seen and not told us Perhaps they've seen nothing at all So not to share was not their place to do so I ask to continue the search For faith Not religious Not political Not communal Not social games Go forth and search for One's own faith Have you not seen one's own core? Have you not felt its heat? Have you not tasted its sweetness? Have you not drifted your hands Over the fine, soft and smooth pelt Of oneself before all this noise? It is beautiful I am You are We are Quite beautiful And the creative act goes From land unknown to Known Where criticism and form Restrict what was once pure Oh Purity! Untainted by man's world Yet sharing just a glimpse Of what once was Like stale breath We breathe this round-faced Polish muse of a memory Churning for the hope of forgiveness But only receiving melancholy Even a fellowship would not take the pain away Even the balance of the world on my fingertips Even two hearts filled with love swearing never to leave A bank with infinite sums with one thousand and one locks Would not take the pain of knowing and not knowing away A chair by the river See it rest there Sitting with itself A woman crossing the street The child running in front of her A bus stop and a trashcan filled To the brim with the tossed A sight of normalcy though The bridge that hangs above them Reminds her of their Deepest dread of obscurity Our struggle against meaninglessness But have faith they say The creator wants to See thee Soon

Never Fail to Search
