There's been nothing to look forward to The days seem intertwined My dreams have become diluted Stuck in the perils of my mind
I'll sleep the day away Stay wide awake throughout the nights The darkness hides the pain I'm in And any remanence of my plight
What's out there lurking in the shadows With the stars my only light I stare into the emptiness Weighing wrong from right
Questioning my role on earth And which fire to ignite To set in motion my devotion And launch my rocket into flightΒ Β
I am merely a speck of dust In the grand scale of our 'verse Our existence just an afterthought That mother earths' disbursed
Sitting, waiting, watching days go by The outcome looming large An inevitable grave tragedy As tears fall from loved ones eyes
I chuckle at the thought of legacy For the future passers by What a twisted complexity This fragile thing that we call life.
The hustle and the bustle The ladders we must climb To reach the top, the utmost peek Why even waste the time?
Where is the silver lining? What mysteries left to find? What discovery of all discoveries Can amend this somber paradigm?
Love you say!? I hasten to agree How does that explain my disdain For the person that is me
I, of good heart and soul And adored by a grand descent Still have yet to wet my whistle By way of the clouds above my head
I feel I must confess my passion To set the worriers at ease Not for the sake of saying so Nor for the galleries esteem
But for self and perseverance The underlining good So what, pray tell do you say? It is that of motherhood
The nature of its being The uniqueness and individuality Of every single human being
And love, in this pretext Is a love that I can bare That of every living thing In to which nothing can compare
A metamorphosis of thought! For you and I alike The yin and yang unearthed The meaning of life.
I dug a little deep in this poem. With my motivation fleeting, I sought to connect the dots that would explain my purpose on earth. I discovered that balance is the key.
