Yearning to lead, some follow
Myriad-marched lines of ley.
Restless esteem, objective the ware,
Their own to stride in disparate air,
Naught to halt, for thought unclaimed.
On such ways of faithless hope
Are beheld yet scattered still,
Ebbing spirits, deliverance bound,
Their exploits ravaged, of zest renounced
Yet simple for one to tell -
Often more than not is there
A purpose in meager things.
Never may plead, yet always anew;
Existing to give and so they do,
In truth known, of truth unseen.
Be it not the shifting trail,
Neither jay, in winds up high.
A passerby's glee bereft, nor so,
Fate withheld: its refusal to go -
But their nature, we define.

- Comment from author about the poem: Hey guys, back again with another one of those "What in the heck is this guy talking about?" writes. Yup. Well, this poem has a lot of meaning and underlying messages in it. The general message though, is this: Everything in life follows a cycle. We, as humans, are no exception to this rule. We as brothers and sisters look unto ourselves and each other as we follow and repeat this cycle: as all things must. If you enjoyed the read, then I appreciate it greatly. It means a lot to me that people read my poetry. Sorry for the rambling, and I'll see you all later. Toodles. P.S. This took 3 weeks to write, lol.

Thank you very much, Finch. A second read is splendid! Let alone more than two lol
Yes, good write N. I will take 3 weeks to see all the things in it!
Nothing new there then? As in 'What the heck is this guy talking about?!' heehee.
You got me good lol. That's fair. Cant argue xD
Both wording and message gives linguistic pleasure to this reader Nick - I love the archaic style with expressions like "Often more than not is there a purpose in meager things" - apt pointers indeed to look twice before giving up to and ebbing spirit...... into my faves with this one my friend.
Hey! I finally did it! Thanks much, Fay. I'm glad to have made it on that list. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate them greatly. Also glad you liked the antique style!
Wow great sublime muse and the descriptions make it a fine abstract poem indeed. Kudos.
