oops one extra blog

I almost forgot to upload this poem I wanted to share. I wrote this a while ago when I was feeling a lack of purpose in my life.

Desert

I’m walking and I don’t know why.

I started somewhere long ago where the path was clear.

I didn’t know where I was going,

But I knew what should be there when I finally arrived,

And I had an idea of which way to go.

As I walked back then, I might have a change of heart,

And I would turn in a new direction,

But I could still see where I came from,

And my journey still made sense.

Now I see nothingness around me.

I can no longer remember where I came from.

I don’t know which way to go,

But I keep moving forward.

I don’t know where I’m going,

Or what I’m looking for,

But I know I must keep moving.

At times I felt I was close to something,

And I would begin to run,

But soon I would find myself nowhere,

And I would have to pick a new direction.

At times I lose volition,

Then I stop in my tracks.

I look about me for a sign of my unknown purpose

And begin to walk again through the empty world around me.

Now once again, I find myself in the middle of nowhere.

I stand still but I must start moving again.

I must keep moving until find something.
