I search for a truth with a feelingA sensation that changes a being
A greater surge than the one that once destroyed the veil of darkness which had draped itself around my life
The feeling that felt like chemical reactions within my being and pushed away all strife
When I had lived without regarding what a soul in search must find to live on freely
Un-certain of what power was holding my life in the battles within that were on the verge of defeat and ruin
Circumstances led me on and in to an electrified atmosphere that drove me to a want that never did exist
The haunting silence of the darkness hanging like a shadow within the depths of my heart disappeared in a mist
What then does my heart search for now?
My soul refuses to stand in solitude but at times I stand in exile within my own mind
The need for the extra-ordinary thing which must rest in a weary soul tells me to keep searching
As I have read I must let my life be brushed by the fingertips of my immortal soul
The thirst of my spirit must find the answer that will erase the past
Just as an oak thirsts in a drought but yet the outpouring of rain brings it to life and makes it grow stronger than before
Just as a rose wilts and seems lifeless but as the sun shines on it, new life springs from within
So shall it be that when my heart’s craving is fulfilled my soul shall be like a bubbling fountain of new life
I must be an individual of immense courage within the battlefield of my life
There is no greater battle than that which will be fought with my own life.
Despite the pain, the despair, the disappointments, the suffering, the loneliness within
I must not surrender the very essence of my dignity and hope to the enemy which hovers around me in pursuit of conquering both my mind and my soul
I must find another touch out of the darkness of deception in this lost world
I have known, I know...and I shall know
