Searching for the elephant

She wants to arrive,
But is too scared to travel,
And she continues to wonder about life.
A hopeless struggle,
For she sees but won’t acknowledge.
And they say it’s a waste of her oh so limited time,
And for fear of the boogie monster
Hiding inside her,
She walks all crooked
With her feet in her head.
And everything she sees
Is strange and twisted,
Hiding behind cupboards and under the floor.
She picks up the planks,
And peers down, searching,
Expecting to uncover something unknown,
But all of this looking and searching for something,
Is just a pointless racking,
Of her dark and empty head.

silentsky... this poem is just a wonderful expression of life sometimes ...

She wants to arrive,
But is too scared to travel,
And she continues to wonder about life.

---- great lines!

Keep well

silentsky,
I liked the lines which said she want's to arrive
but is afraid to travel, but if she's looking for that elephant under the floorborads she doesn't know much about elephants. She needs to look in the Smartie box. Eamil me if you don't understand, it's Australian humor.
Be well

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
