Wandering, to just find dismay

spilleronsheet

I travelled so far 

wished to travel more 

the journey continues

like a never ending ray 

don’t know when it began 

don’t know when it will end 

 

I wandered 

To look for the questions 

to ponder all alone 

the curiosity kept high 

kept me awake all night 

 

I wandered 

to answer my mind 

looking across the brook 

dazing the sky 

counting the stars at night 

 

I wandered 

I travelled so far 

they questioned my travels 

they questioned my journey 

so intruding they were to me 

to those eyes prying 

to those voices piercing inside 

the closed ones went ignorant 

ignorant to the pearls I stored 

that laced as it flows 

 

I wandered 

Broken in dismay 

with no savings 

with no investments 

all but nothing 

I store 

to the mere wisdom I hold 


maybe I was looking at the wrong place 

maybe I was finding the wrong person 

maybe there was no one to comfort 

maybe there was no competitors ahead 

 

all answers 

lay within 

all questions aren’t questioning me 

they are mere exclamations 

that can be ignored 

may the hard work shine 

and the glory return

glory of the fallen soldier 

Whose  lost in desert 

searching for an oasis 

as it moves astray

  • dusk arising

    Reading your words today has made me want to pass on a piece of wisdom. Stop searching for answers, those answers will only come when you are ready to receive them.

      • spilleronsheet

        I guess we feel sad in unison
        And by expressing we can uplift
        Thank you so much Rose for being there

            I shall surely
            And I will keep trying till then
            Some storms challenged me
            I shall beat those storms now

          • orchidee

          • Lorna

            Sometimes just sit, breath and remember things. Those journeys are your own .... so many questions are overwhelming but answers come with time.

            • spilleronsheet

              Sure I will do that Lorna
              A few minutes exclusively on myself

            • L. B. Mek

              emotively worded, a poignant read
              'questing for Our, who
              in the what
              we, strive to believe'
              thanks for sharing!

              • spilleronsheet

                Well said Sir
                Truly it’s the essence of what I wrote

                • spilleronsheet

                  Thank you so much
                  I feel the warmth
                  I am so happy to be at MPS
                  My silence is heard
                  My tears are given comfort
                  I am not alone in my journey

                • Paul Bell

                  I think man never stops looking for the answers, and I think if he does, he would be better off killing himself.
                  Life truly is a mystery, and we all love mysterious.

                  • spilleronsheet

                    Indeed
                    Life is mysterious and it ends with us in the grave
