What I Seek
This track I walk
The path I take
No destination in mind
In search of something
That might not exist
Stumbling,
Falling,
The dark despair of my mind
An endless abyss
Is there true value for the thing I seek ?
Is it worth the pain and suffering?
I continue to walk,
Yet mindlessly
I search
Why can’t I find it?
Falling deeper there is no light
I’m alone with my dangerous mind
Inner demons feed off dark thoughts
Whispering vile things nobody wants to hear
I continue to walk
Emotionlessly
The color of my world fades
Black and white is all I see
The almond blossoms, gerberas and stocks wilt away
Leaving only hyacinths and cyclamens
I continue to walk
Blindlessly
Stumbling on every corner
What do I seek?
I have seem to have forgotten
Forgotten the reason I suffer
Forgotten the reason I live
I continue to walk
With no purpose
Do I seek happiness?
Do I seek love?
Do I seek a reason to live?
I do not know
My breath is slowing down
My hearts stopping
My mind is shutting off
My body is lying still
Maybe in my next life
I will find love and happiness
Or I might find my reason to live
A purpose
I might find what I seek
Opening my eyes
An angel touches me
Their touch of soft silk
They tell me I must live
For them I must find what I seek
Watch the cherry blossom bloom
As the colored world returns
I pick up the peonies and finally
I have found what I seek
