I've spent some time in introspection.
Tried to figure it all out...
Why I act the way I do-
Just what it's all about...

Why the streak of wanderlust-
That makes me want to hide...
Out where only wild things go-
Beyond the Great Divide.

What is it that I'm seeking-
And never seem to find?
What vagary of fortune-
Seems to seize, and hold my mind?

The love for which I'm longing-
Never did exist-
Outside the prose of novels...
Or the poet's dreamy mists.

Why am I still living-
When so many friends are dead?
A kaleidoscope of persons-
Of whom I've heard, or read...

And what fate does await me-
At the end of this my road?
Toward which the past does drive me-
Like a fierce and pointed goad.

This questioning sounds so familiar...maybe a human connection here, my friend...we all ask, and don't always find the answer. I've found looking to be interesting. A good introspective poem!

Another great poem gunslinger, this is fantastic ...
'The love for which I'm longing-
Never did exist-
Outside the prose of novels...
Or the poet's dreamy mists.'
