Searching for Reality
By Paul Wilson

Standing at the crossroads of life
not knowing what I would find
While searching for reality
I found the end of my mind

The end was near I could tell
no more dreams to embrace
The sky turned dark black
marking the end of the human race

I shouted at the top of my voice
what about our tomorrows
Where are our loved ones
who will help ease their sorrows

From somewhere beyond the sky
an angry voice answered me
Who do you think you are
searching for reality

I answered…I’m a lost soul
with no future in sight
I’ve lost all I’ve cared for
facing the reality of life tonight

I’m a little crazy you know riding stars
between what was and what will be
The future doesn’t hold anything for me
the past too jaded and faded to see

I’ll sell my soul for the right price
just to find the meaning of reality
Show me the way between here and there
touch me with the vision to see

The sky turned red as blood and lightning
lit up the night for all the world to see
My mind was spinning out of control
and I realized... I had found reality

The world was ending... that was my reality
2012 A.D

A thought-provoking write, Paul. I liked that line:

I’ll sell my soul for the right price

Have a marvelous day! Mark

Thanks to all who have replied.
Just reflecting on a T.V program I watched a couple of nights ago about the world ending December 2012 according to the Myans and Nostradamus...Paul

Some other thoughts, suppose the world ended 12-12-12 ( Dec. 12,2012 )
There were 12 disciples in the bible, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 months in a year.
Makes me wonder???...Paul

Paul the Prophet Poet, I too have had nightmares about those end-of-the-world prophecies.

One day while I was 'YouTubing', I came across videos by Revelations13 which led me to the Revelations13.net website. If you don't want to have even worse nightmares ~ don't go there!

Sweet dreams!

Dear Paul, you have done well to write your anxiety related to the prophesied end of the world. It might help to release tensions.

You did this very well. There are things that are beyond our understanding, but I do trust we are children of eternity, whether here or on different levels of existence, we shall always be conscious and therefore REAL.

Meanwhile we should concentrate on peace and love and diminution of pollution to begin with ...

Dear Paul, none of us is ever alone, though we do feel lonely and lost at times. Someone up there cares.

Love and hugs.
Margherita

Linda...I visited that web site and it was very intresting, even thou I didn't understand alot of what it contained.
I guess we will find out soon enough if we are doomed in 2012.Thanks so much for reading and your reply...Paul

Marghertia...Thanks so much for reading and caring.
I'm really worried about whether or not we all perish in 2012 or when ever, I have faced my reality and mortality and am ready for whatever happens.
After all we are only human and must pass onto another world on our journey to wherever we are destined to be...Paul
