Light is Darkness

I can still taste the tears upon these calm lips. Tears
shed for love that had never been and a lonely abyss that
could never be filled. Why does one's head spin with desires
of gain? Satisfaction with the present never seems to be an
acceptable option in the perception of the human mind.
Contentedness never seems to be found when one realizes one
is alone in the world. To be forced to become dependent upon
one's own self is the death of the oblivious person one once
was. Oblivion...such a blissful state of ignorance that cannot
be relived. Finding truth is not as glorified as one
imagined as the past self. An immense miscalculation that
has torn away the layers skin only to leave one's core
susceptible to this new perception of life. How long will it
take for the new layers to form and, when they do so, will
they remain? Or is this, as many a thing in this world,
simply a repetitive cycle? Do we ever truly gain or is this
in fact an illusion itself? It's quite possible that this is
our answer. One can never reach one's illusions in the harsh
desert.

Author's Note

I would call this prose but it wasn't an option for type. Just a little something I wrote one day.

I would say that this is poetry! it does tell a great story with great emotions.. or how you feel and your thoughts put into a sense of time. it flows very well. i would suggest you look at the writing of a member here named paperlife. she writes similar. and does it very well. like you. you write in this style very proficiently. thanks for sharing!

What an amazing write, good for you.
Some darned good thinking going on here and some wonderful fresh insight as to what it is to be human.
'Satisfaction with the present never seems to be an option'.....this is true and is probably at the core of all great discoveries in life as to be still, is to never grow and growing and changing is the ultimate delight of being human and can't help but lead to inner peace and satisfaction.

A wonderful in depth write and with thinking like this....anything is indeed possible.
Congratulations.

This is a very beautiful piece!
I hope you keep writing more like this because when I was reading it, I had a visual picture in my mind but you weren't even describing a specific setting.

Dear Wanderer of Dreams,

I love the vulnerability of this piece as it reflects your soul. You have a real talent to capture your thoughts, and elaborate them to a world that desperately needs to hear that it's alright to question our own thought process, and the world around us in general.
Great work, I truly enjoyed the emotional ride!
