Quest

Searching for tomorrow today
Looking for clues in yesterday
Sandman, sandbagging my foray
Intoxication helping him along the way

Life’s full circle laughing at change
One revolution, constantly repeated
Looking pain in the eye at close range
Patterns rationalized, happiness incarcerated

Seasons of stormy reflection
Dreams of placid, calm, shimmering waters
Brewing harmony with incessant laughter
Rediscovering the wonder of creation

Falling, getting up, brushing off the dust
Leashed, and thoughts measured
Spirit still free, eyes wary
Soul dented, impacts vary
