From where hails this
hopelessness,
this purposelessness that’s surrounds
me,
the futility fettered to every
action, plan and deed?
There has to be something more than
merely passing through each beautiful day,
embracing every luxury and beauty
available in this sanctuary we have created,
enjoying the privileges and
abundance with which we’ve been graced,
in accordance to a belief
sculpted by time.
A belief favouring the
instinctive, the things which move something inside, the goodness that is to be
found in each moment, and many such moments freely and spontaneously present
themselves in your every wakened hours,
and I heed these things, I note all
the gifts before me, I stop, look deeply, breathe in the variety of scents in
the air, feel the tickle of the wind in my hair, the heat of the sun on my
skin, the soulful eyes of the creatures in my care, the love of a fellow human
being,
yet I cannot shake the gloom
disturbing my rhythm, causing me to stumble over level ground,
wielding old dissatisfactions
which my belief no longer supports, ties my tongue when words should flow
easily, plays tricks with the shadows presenting threats that don’t exist,
facts quite clearly fake, and images aimed at incinerate my sanity…
from whence does this darkness
stem,
what’s the purpose behind this
eternal night,
could someone tell me please the reason
behind this all……
Beautiful things and a life of luxury cannot replace true joy. Or yes, we will merely passing through.
ReplyDeleteJoin the club, friend Shadow … Right now 7.7 billion peeps on this planet are asking the same question … In the meantime, let's enjoy life, while we can, hmmm? Much love, cat. PS: I added a new post to my travel blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the answer for you but, night does sometimes bring us darkness. I have confidence there is more awaiting in this world and the world beyond this one.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we're meant to design our own purpose of living ?
ReplyDeleteDo what we feel compelled to do that is not harmful but
rather,creative ? Insightful ? Educational? Self honesty
is courageous and feeling hopeless is part of the other
half of finding our purpose.You have a gift for writing,
that's a pretty good start Shadow.
