I live my life
In search
Hunting the real

It hides
in the chambers
in the darkness

Slippery is the real
no hole is to small
No net large enough

The real is about
under noses
under life

It nestles in falsity
safe in the rooms
of people in power

Yet i hunt it
through abstract
and riddle

This is my quest
this I choose to do
hunting the Nocturnal
unobtainable 'True'



------------------
Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

How relevant in my life! The real can be false as often as true. Sometimes it's our rose-colored perceptions though.
I really enjoyed this piece.

Mirror, mirror, I confess
I can't escape this, emptiness
No more reason to pretend
Here comes that same old feelin' again

Many spurn treasure laid before them only to hope for what they know they can never have, Walter, I hope you find what you're looking for.
