Eternal TormentA Poem by Juan MunizFor centuries I've wandered in this meadow. Never questioned my being there, lead by a path. Followed it blindly, enjoying the view. Ignorance was my bliss, for it was easy to behold. One morning , a swirl of thoughts reigned the day "Why am I here?" and many more A sudden fear of the unknown, Like as if something crawled out of its hole. Always there, waiting to wake from its slumber. Now I stand here staring at the horizon, A beautiful mystery I discovered. Like a song without lyrics, I lay bare. This path now seems to fade, The world telling me to roam as I desire. Freedom was a feeling not a choice Between countless possibilities, Where is this soul's fate?
