in this journey

in this journey

in this journey

i have struggled to understand

i have struggled to gain Clarity

capture him

in my own reason

and bend him to my will

but he would not comply

nor listen

in this journey

i have tired

and i needed to rest

so i sat in my own mess

and i found solace

in giving up

not fighting

the internal battle

with “Self”

in this journey

the voices dissipated

scattered in to other regions

perhaps the minds of others

and a quiet prevailed

and my spirit sailed

the Seas

of what i could come to be

and once again

my thoughts soared

the skies of possibilities

for clarity

had come

to visit my empty soul

and whisper

the key to my understanding

in this journey . . .
