For it is

Without hope we stand alone

Without faith we crumble

Without time

Our bones will never be dust

Without love

There is no home

 

A nomad seeks something

In the never-ending blue

Without a set path to follow

He follows something new

 

What is lost now is found

What is broken

Now is whole

The one who searches deeply

Is the one who bares his soul

 

Eyes that are judging

Staring all around

Picking at the little things

Just begging to be found

 

Staring in the pool

Of endless shadows

Finding that life is just an illusion

Something that can be drowned

 

We hold ourselves closely

With hope that the cold won’t come in

And take away those feeble lives

Hanging so close to the edge

 

Staring through the lens

Into some other world

Seeking something not worth seeking

Discovering something old

 

Gnarled and ancient

It’s something so massive

The power within is un-doubtable

Looking turns you passive

 

When we try to move our lips

To describe what it is

Something catches us in mid-breath

And takes the thought away

But in the end we find a way

To describe what it is

 

It is something unmistakable

Something that always was and always is

Search deep within ourselves

And we will find the right word

Whether in French, Latin, German

It will be heard

 

For it is

For it is…………

the words in this poem are so strong and fluent, yet they hit you hard and sink into you. Then at the last two lines there's just this calmness because it sorta just slows down. I completely agree with you on this poem too. Really loved it.
