Seeker

"Searching the unseen, 

hearing the silence; 

Ponder, what could’ve been 

by not treading lightly. 

 (What to live for?) 

 Longing for the unnameable, 

ever-changing, facets anew; 

To grasp its fading tail 

is to never stay still 

 (Shedding my skins) 

 Endless chasm, calling 

To gaze down, within. 

Am I looking, falling? 

Is it what it seems? 

 

(The abyss in me…) 

 As thoughts wither by, 

draining emotions held; 

As moons wane and rise, 

I immolate myself. 

 

(Time is devouring, so am I) 

 In and out, seasons change, 

flying futures, bound in past; 

Seeking bright flame, 

finding dried ash. 

 (I am burning) 

 At night, dark fawns, 

I die, I live, I bleed; 

Who awakes at dawn, 

Is it the same me? 

(…) 

 To feel the deep dark tides, 

to solve the riddle of self; 

I shall live and I shall die 

by this eternal quest. 

 (this is my curse...)"
