In Times Of....

[Lucky Charmz]

My soul drifts aimlessly in times of hopelessness.
It searches tirelessly for meaning and truth ...
Yet finds no direction.
My heart bleeds quietly in times of loneliness.
It yearns to find warmth and happiness ...
Yet it somehow eludes me.
My eyes seek out visions in times of want.
They gaze endlessly through the blackness that envelops them ...
Yet they cannot see the light.
My ears listen earnestly in times of silence.
They search for familiar sounds to comfort and console ...
Yet they cannot penetrate the darkness that surrounds me.
My arms reach out frantically in times of despair.
They seek strength and compassion to enfold me ...
Yet they find nothing substantial to enwrap.
My mind cries out desperately in times of solitude.
It poses intense questions that demand answers ...
Yet there are none to be found.
***
My hand reaches out earnestly in these times of confusion.
It dials the number of a familiar and calming voice ...
And gratefully, my lifeline to sanity ... remains intact.

i do it for the joy it brings because i am a joyful girl the world owes me nothing and we owe eachother the world and i do it because it's the least i can do i do it because i learned it from you and i do it just because i want to because i want to....
and everything i do is judged they mostly get it wrong but oh well because the bathroom mirror has not budged and the woman who lives there can tell the truth from the stuff that they say she looks me in the eye and says would you prefer the easy way no well then ok don't cry....i wonder if everything i do i do instead of something i want to do more the question fills my head and i know there's no grand plan here this is just the way it goes when everything else seems unclear at least i know i do it for the joy it brings because i am a joyful girl because the world owes me nothing and we owe eachother the world i do it because it's the least i can do i do it because i learned it from you i do it just because i want to i just want to....

I am not sure what to say. I am impressed with the depth. With both this and the other. It makes some things a little clearer.
------------------
Mine is the wisdom of the ages.
I hold the key to the mysteries of life.
Casting my seeds on fertile ground
I nurture them with constancy and purpose.
My sights are fixed.
My gaze unchanging.
Unyielding, inexorable and deep
I advance with steady, unslackened gait,
The solid earth beneath me.
