Finding One’self

dark shadows echo in canyon
                            sublime
who calls out asking why
               this need for rhyme
then a laughter’s feint
that strikes one back
        and slightly daunted, is me,
                  whom quests who
back

for ‘tis perceived by this echo
who is asked for in this
body that would stand
          to find an answer of me
be only to find derision in
who’s see?

or is the question for a pair
perhaps alone should
this body
                            not stand
perhaps there should be a
we?

maybe there’s not enough
in me
            to rejoin to the who
this echo calls
but to look around, surrounded
by bare vastness, at only one
                         who stands this
ground
                   only one that hears
this sound

be it feathers and beak
to query of me who and
what does it seek?

or ‘tis a spirit of another’s
world
             come to claim this
life’s unfurl, by
demanding
who claims this rhyme
           and would take a
muses’ time, who will bear
or even dare

to stand in silence, without
aid
            and quest to find a
response, then
stand staid!

          who needs not
others for this request
who would then you give this
behest?

so before it be owl, or
this muse that would soon
fly

I find deep solace in the
soulful answer…

                              it is I

I love a good philosophical poem, Sunshine. This is a keeper.
