Truth, The Quest For

After all this time, the smiles, the tears, the ever after, was it really nothing more than a sense of scatterbrain? Splashes of sunlight in an otherwise dreary life of solitude, mixed among the smattering of wild life that would peek about when the coast was clear. 

I remember exploring all those episodes of magic, sheer ecstasy from beyond the galaxies I was certain we would attain, one day. We lived and breathed within that dream and what a lovely dream it was, enough to take your breath away, even if you didn't believe.

Standing here beside myself, inside my mind, I realize now and maybe for the first time that it would never be.  

Programmed as we are, humans of the dsyfunctional kind,  we can only hope for normalcy, and seldom if ever will ever achieve that objective, unless we break free.  A monumental task in and of itself, for it requires courage, bravery and an overall persistence that refuses to give up...

In the quest for truth.

The truth of who we are in spite of! The reality of our being when all else fades away and we are left with nothing else.

All layers gone and left along side those days of youthful vigor. Now, stripped bare, we stare and see who's really there, staring back, the one who is, marinated now in wisdom of the sages...

( to be continued...)

Very poetic. The first sentence felt a little long, I had to go over it a couple times to pick up on the cadence and meaning. You created some very beautiful images.
