Inspired by my Spirituality, I seek bliss of a new kind.
Believed through experience and perfected by failure, I choose my paths...
and I walk them.
Lined with layers upon layers of fable-like trials,
I move steadfastly into uncertainty.
In the shadow of the approaching storm
I persist and I weather~
It will pass and leave me basking in truth's sunshine.
Far from my dark, winding trail
is the pretty, well-lit path,
though not the course to my final destination as fate has dictated...
seldom is.
I hear the faint song of the distant traveler,
but not the words.
I cannot connect.
Not now,
maybe never.
But the tune is music to my ears*
