Words from a Tortured Soul's World
"The Meaning"

In the blackest midnight
My love shines brighter than the whitest star
In the palest of moonlight
My wants stand out against the shadows
My dreams are the poles of the Earth
Each in its own direction and extremity
My heart, ever-pounding, is the center of my world

I gaze upon my life with a sense of awe
That I have gone so far and not yet left
Reason seems to have left me and
I wander aimless through
Days and nights without end
Searching for something that will free me
Sent my mind at ease

Yet, I don't feel that I will find
What I look for in this lifetime
My deepest thoughts are still secrets to me
I read them over and over
Never knowing - never seeing
The clues that I've left for myself.
