The Quest...
Waves crashing, standing tall
Feel any second I could fall
From strong and brave on rocky crag
To wilting, small, and feeling dragged
Over sharp stones; a wide crevasse
I feel them all
- represent my past
Keep moving forward, storm rages on
Across solid foundation am built upon
Passing through, to higher ground
As chilly winds whip all around
Though steps may falter, press
onward, still
Approaching, timidly, wooded hills
Where creatures howl, and darkness blares
And only light is from the flares
For seeking aid, in times of need
The sky aflame; call for help, a
seed
No rescue comes - must forge ahead
Still trudging on, through Darkness led
An inward Light, my only guide
Determination, strong, by my side
Through many trials upon this quest
All that's required is do my best
And stay engaged, til end is reached
To take another, the rules are breached
A solo trek, to find the truth
Down deep inside, no point is moot
Turning over every rock
Though
moss-covered, it openly mocks
And hides the Truth, hidden deep within
If miss it, to circle back, again
Until Truth is learned, cannot move ahead
Yet another pitfall to this journey, led
Though
growing weak, determination strong
In scheme of things, it isn't long
Until destination comes into view
Across horizon, all shiny and new
But is it real, can it come that quick?
Through all the
trials that have made me sick?
At times, unable to go on
Must stop to rest, and gaze upon
My future, at times, with trepidation
Amazed have made it to THIS destination
Let alone, go further
on
And some day actually rest upon
My new life, I know, not a permanent place
There will always be new trials to face
With battles fought, and some to lose
But without all this, life just a
ruse
Reality is best, whether feel safe, or not
For when faking things, one is ALWAYS caught
To live a life of peace, doesn't mean no toil
But, to the Victor goes the spoil
Of a life hard-fought,
wearing scars with pride
When thought were losing, or could've died
But held on tight, never letting go
Of the Me inside, and getting to know
She, and her quirks, and all the truth inside
And
resting in the Light, wherein abides
Perseverance her strength, never giving up
That deep inside was a powerful love
Of self, that always seemed to stay hidden
All covered up like a hand with a mitten
But now, a freedom, through battle fought
And giving up, NEVER, in today's terms, NOT!!!
