Wondering while wandering, the unlit streets of my personal being, on an endless eveningHidden in the corner, while walking, in single steps Could you tell me? Is being one with infinity, the birds and the breeze Intended to feel this lonely?Quietly in selfish meditation, trying to figure myself out, succeeding slowlyHowever painfully, i continue to endure with hopes of discovering the sourceOf my universal isolationObserving simpler minds, leading less contemplative lives, and longing...... A minute, or perhaps a month was spent in suspended meditation, being...Watching rising sunsets, frozen instants, clips from a film called lifeWho am i? The riddle within a riddle i feel has atleast passed through the minds of each of us, so uniquely similarFeeling smaller than the ant who ruled the world and wore a crown cut out of blotter paperQuesting for the question, because i know answers are all partial liesThis opinionated life with the fixed perspectives we have been given, livingAll you know is true, you know nothing, nothing more than i do, nothingEach moment the truth renews itselfAs another abstract concept for our collective misinterpretationsI ponder the fate of this victimized child of a planet, and cry at the splendor of its desecration....finding beauty in our ignoranceMeandering aimlessly to the edge of a flattened earth, sober and nakedDrained of preconceptions, hopelessly contentStepping fearlessly into the lightless oblivion of selflessnessWandering while wondering, if this is this species' or my own story?Although i honestly doubt in the end humanity's outcome concerns the cosmos muchVictim of all circumstances, that come with being mindful , and being human beingMammalian, reptilian, alien, robotic or floralSo full of thoughts, yet all seemingly hollow, only old logs that pass as the river rushes onwardThe flow of time is in such a patient hurry to arrive, somewhere to start againHas anyone thought this before? No i am sure noone hasIt is not like we have anything in common, it is not like we are equally humanStranded in our egocentricitiesWatch the sunset rise, say hello, and say goodbye, and say tomorrow, everynightI will reach my destination.....nowhere, but anywhere away from hereNowhere is forever the same, and nowhere is never the same, and here is nowhere, like thereCould you tell me? Has this loose nonsense ever occured to you?While looking through a looking glass in a hallway or in a dream house of mirrorsThe creature looking back appears so unfimiliar, yet looks back, and looks like everybody else A shell housing countless intangible ideas, and emotions that everyone feelsAlthough we know that nobody could ever relateThe caterpillar said, drowsily blowing out rings of opiate smokeIn the form of smoke rings, you are youAnswering the rhetorical question he was simultaneously asking the dreaming childWho are you?27
This feels like an excert of 10 seconds worth of thoughts while tripping! I do think that you could trim down some of your lines a little, and add a couple of stanza breaks to make it a little easier to read, but other than little things like that, good stuff! and the 27 at the end... my fav. lines!
