Journey

Abstract poem about someone no one knows,

Never-ending journey with no beginnings,
I start to wonder where you lead me.
I keep walking - caressing your consciousness
To find mine, your pathways define
My conscience since I find right
As the wrong way to go...
The morality of the soul is a mountain I climb.
We all struggle to reach the top alone,
But for our contingent existence, solitude atones.
These are the things you whisper to me,
If I were to substitute your subtleties
I'd certainly echo your philosophy -
Like the silent screams through valleys
That return to me. I keep walking...
Even though I hear the somber sound
Of your voice resonate, I ignore it
With each grueling step I take
Because this journey is a long one,
This voyage is a tempt of fate.
If I ever took a leap of faith I wonder where I'd land.
I'm might fall to die, or perhaps end up
In another land with a different sky.
It's not a stretch of the imagination
That if my wounds from the fall were fatal
I'd be left to die in peace in nature.
But then, I'd be reincarnated
Forced to tread you again - de ja vu?
Perhaps, but if only we knew for a fact
That I've already walked this path,
We'd make a pact that you don't lead me astray.
But alas, we don't... So I keep walking.
Walking along the shores of the beach
On a sunny day, what a sightful scene
I look up at the sky as I soak in the serene.
I hear you converse with the Moon,
You whisper softly in a sweet tune
But soon enough, your song turns into a sonic boom.
The thunder thumps loudly,
And the bright Day dons Night's dark kilt -
I walk and watch the rain. I keep walking...
I walk into the sea, and as it deepens
My lungs breathe in - I inhale the cold water
As I exhale a warmer steam from my furnace.
I want to be buried at the bottom of the Sea,
But I cannot yet die, I am unable to drown -
So I will swim into a stream less deep
And step out into a desert...
I'll fry in the heat and freeze in the night.
But you send the Nile to relieve all my needs
And now my dream that to die is to live
Seems to be just a dream -
A delusion odd people experience,
So I keep walking... keep walking... walking...
Until I awake from my sleep...

AWAKE.
