All Along


For as long as time
Has my world been cursed
Searching for the one
To quench my thirst
In the alleys beyond
And pastures before me
Through spaces I have gone
Unable to see
When all along present
I failed to envision
What has come to me last
Was where I was brought
Upon first.

  1. So many times I have come full circle to satisfy a need. Only lately have I realized that making the circle was necessary; it was life.

  5. It is true that many times we can not find what we are searching for even when it is always before our eyes.

  8. Ah... glorious poetry! It was like a lament from the deep chasms of wise earth, which tells us to look to our humble beginnings, before life comes full circle.. You are amazing!
