Quest For Future
Silence surounds all,
Deafening, smothering,
The tree of life looms overhead,
Curiosity encompassing.
Float with grace, hear the sound,
Dancing beauty, spiralling near,
Footsteps quick and nimble bound,
Energy flows thru flesh so clear.
Melancholy spirits stir,
Enchanting this electric dance,
Torn is the blindfold from mine eyes,
To give the past a final glance.
One blink begets a bright flame ring,
Glowing fingers stroke the sky,
Self contained yet frightening,
Burn with incandescent purity.
Weakly withered are these bones,
The climb begins, this newfound toil,
Upward and onward in a haze,
Skin seeps a rain of thick turmoil.
With every inch a weight relieved,
'Till naught but cloth a burden seem,
Nadir to utopia the goal acheived,
Welcomed with uncertainty.
Bringing pleasure in scathing pain,
Silver wings from spine have burst,
Disrobed descending from the sky,
Satisfied and free from hurt.
