Outside looking IN
Inside looking OUT
What is this cage?
I find myself inside of
I find myself outside of
What side of these bars am I on?
Am I within the bars?
Pushing,
Pulling,
Grasping,
Spinning
Is there on give
Prison of the mind
Sitting here,
Tunes playing on the stereo - FM
Plants need water
Weather is getting warmer
Spring has arrived
My thoughts start to wander
Lost at sea,
Praying for a refuge:
Exhausted though I was
Hope was not to be -
Relinquished
Every sighting of land;
Life anew
Dark despair of false hope
As the rocks revealed themselves -
Barren and cold
The waves crashing,
Grinding them away
No refuge to be found.
Where oh where!
Is anchorage to be found
Time blows by
Weariness sets in - hope fades
hope fades
Illusions, fantasies
All reign as the spiral in my mind
only to fade
As I drift along
My sub-consciousness raises its weary head
Struggling to raise and open my eyes
Fighting hope
- Hope wins
Rising strong again
Eyes take in the sight of land
My strength surges the nearer I draw
Refuge
I rest awash in weariness.
The journey continues
