the world is so backward
being forward puts you behind
looking upward, toward the heavens
hoping to find an outward shine

Wandering the great abyss
Floundering in the dark
Searching the desert for an oasis,
Home fire warming the hearth

Floundering in the dark,
The lost, the fearful younger self
Home fire warming the hearth,
Faded picture on the shelf

The lost, the fearful younger self
Once vivid in imagination
Faded picture on the shelf
Juxtaposed jubilation

Once vivid in imagination
Looking back through sands of time
Juxtaposed jubilation
Travels back and forth the mind

Looking back through sands of time
Searching the desert for an oasis
Travels back and forth the mind
Wandering the great abyss
I've read a couple of really beautiful pantoums here..
this is my humble attempt at one :)

Come with me
I have a compass
Bring your watch
We become the sexton
A map we shall draw
On this journey together
Joy for our pleasure
In the realm of reality
A world we seek
As one
Spirited wind
On wings of desire
Vision of a non virtual world
The kingdom of truth
The glory in wisdom
Where we speak in loving tone
Adorn my body with yours
As my heart melts like wax
Forming a new world
One mind
One Heart
One love
A creation
We found with a compass
We often navigate through life alone. Life was never meant to be alone, or lonely. How many travelers go without a compass, without a friend...

Musical Rage
the feeling of such emotion that all yo can do is sing
all you can do is whail at the top of your lungs
so that people will hear you
No matter the subject
You just need to be heard

Ladies and Gents
Sing your Songs
Because I wanna hear
the wails and gentle whispers of your emotions
Your pain, neutrality and happiness
That makes you feel alive
Let me hear
who you are
