Thoughts Obscure

Where are those people, whom I want to see?
Where are those faces my eyes seek?
There are more unknowns than friends
To know who's who you have to go deep down under.

What if I see a beautiful face that I longed for?
What if I meet someone I was thinking about?
Maybe nothing has changed. . .
Or maybe the world is not like what I wanted it to be.

Whose shadow do I see before me?
Who rules my thoughts?
Only time can clear the fog of uncertainty,
He has all the answers to my questions.

Is there no escape, no freedom from the iron grind?
Is chanting fervent prayers the only answer?
Just remember, nothing lasts for ever. . .
Not even our troubles.

Will HE help me to find them?
Will HE lead me to the right path?
A flower is ready to blossom,
And a new sunrise is in the offing.

We are on the same quest my friend. I have had all the same questions and found most of the answers within. The only truth I've found so far is... I AM -that is the ONLY thing I am sure of, everything else stems from there. I think that the "He" is You. I had somebody pull me back from the huge abstract canvas I was painting and made me see the big picture. It's not an abstract after-all it's realism as I've created it.
Who's doubt do you see before you? Who rules YOUR thoughts? As I said the answers are within. Great poem, Great topic keep it up. -Starman

A write of searching,,,,,,seeking.........on a quest to discover!
I can relate to the questions that you ask in this poem.
And, "to know who's who you have to go deep down under".........so true!
There is much hidden to us that does not easily appear...we must seek and find for ourselves!
A nice write!

And a new sunrise is in the offing."
