For so long I’ve lived in the dark. Wondering what it might be like in the light. Edging towards a mystery Anxious, scared, curious... and all the while sure that it was everything I ever wanted. Searching for answers Finding questions Searching for truth Finding false hopes dreams gone asunder fears realized So sure of my quest So unsure of its path Somehow...mystery became my obsession then. Looking through so many tainted windows of broken glass. Squinting to try and catch vague images of a dream. Curious to see what was behind that curtain. The one that never seemed to open... Or perhaps only for a brief moment to reveal the glistening prize it seemed I would never win. And then I gave up And as I walked away I felt a hand gently brush my face So suddenly the burn of a glance The heat seemed to lurk in the air Like an endless summer day I wanted to catch the moment like a firefly I chased its light aware that the more I flailed the stronger it struck fear into its heart So I stopped for a moment to bask in its exquisiteness to admire the beauty of it’s glimmer to get a small glimpse of the mystery that had evaded my heart - my mind - my soul for so long... Slowly, it came to me and now I’m living a dream. |

It seems like a lot of life is "searching for answers". And though we will never find all the answers, we learn more every day. “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |
