Endless Journey
By Paul Wilson

I’ve counted my chickens before they hatched
broken shells like broken hearts never mend
Eyes filled with so much hurt and disbelief
this battle with you I will never win

Tomorrows dreams are like yesterdays clouds
hopelessly scattered by the winds of time
I speak and think of you in the past tense
even thou you are always on my mind

Days spent on this journey that never ends
searching for the answers I’ll never find
Pausing upon the thought of you once more
tomorrow another mountain to climb

I beg you grant me piece of mind tonight
so that I might sleep in the past again
Dreams of you dear bring much needed release
peaceful thoughts before the storm starts again

As world awakens my heart slowly dies
another day without you how time flies
Perhaps I’ll find you over the next rise
I’ll check cause we never said our goodbye’s

Storm clouds gather washing away my pain
raindrops drown out the silence in my mind
Teardrops shed won’t let my broken heart mend
I’ll keep on searching till the end of time

Thru the forest and along ocean shores
I feel your presence upon a cool breeze
I hear your voice calling thru falling leaves
I’m over here I shout from bended knees

Jumping up I search frantically for you
running…shouting your name it’s all in vain
There’s no answer …silence is all around
help me someone before I go insane



~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~
Paul

Paul, This is absolutely brilliant, I am so glad to see you back posting again.. I have missed your presence & was begining to get concerned to the point of sending you an e mail until fate intervened & I had to disappear myself for a few days.  BTW, thanks for the comment you made when you heard I was in for repair...Good work my friend, please stick around

Best John

Dear Paul, this is a very very touching write and makes me want to hug you and wrap you in divine love, light and peace.

It is hard to miss someone so badly, but your very longing is the proof of the immense love you have been bestowed with. Love IS.

Love and hugs.
Margherita

poddarku...Thank you for the reply. I agree life is full of different diminsions...Paul

SEA...So glad you liked the part you quoted. I really appreciate you taking time to read and reply. I still play that CD you made for me when I am on the road, it keeps me awake...Paul

John...Glad that all went well for you at the repair shop. You were in my thoughts all the time. Please feel free to e mail me anytime. I don't check my mail each day, but usually once a week. I appreciate your caring kind words my friend...Paul

JL...Long time no see. How have things been for you? I notice your occupation is BUM and was wondering how much it pays and if there are any openings, LOL. Thanks so much for your reply.Take care and keep in touch...Paul

Margherita...I really appreciate the hugs, you are a true caring person and a wonderful friend. I appologize for misleading you with this poem, it's only some ramblings from a crazy man and a fictional part of my inner being that sometimes sounds real. Thanks again...Paul
