I have been walking for quite a while now
In a circled path
And there is never a voice to awaken me from the fury of the diziness.
I have been running around myself for a long time
Wondering who I might turn out to be
All the while forgetting pieces of who I already am.
I have been dragging my heart along,
Bumping into things along the way for all my blindness.
There have been loves and there have been lovers,
Peppering and oversalting the feast of my life.
Now I think I need to rest along side of the path for a while
But I tire of seeing the same road when I sit down and ponder where I am,
So I'm leaving this place within me,
This slow haunting feeling that life has passed me by more than once.
I have been walking, running, dragging, and most of all suspended in one time zone of passionate reverie,
And I must
Break away.
Some solitude is in the future perhaps,
And if not, then maybe something better.
I have been walking,
And now I've stopped walking long enough to think,
And yet have come back to surface with nothing but things I cannot touch.

perhaps if you'd look at what you've collected in your walks. . .  

this is wonderful. . . very introspective. . .

things you cannot touch are the things that matter...as they say, "you can't take it with you"

Ahhh, gentle maid, life has the tendency to do this, only to show that there is another life to look at, crossroads to reach, another pathway to walk. You are okay, you always have been. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, so forget what is past, and take those experiences for the new way you wish to walk..very gentle smile

Going in circles about ourselves is one way to get a better glimpse of who we are indeed... Nicely done, Tempt..
