Along the deep reaches of
my drifting mind,
arid plains force me
into a melancholy muse
I ponder amidst interims
of obscurity,
searching within uncharted
realms to unearth purposeful
destiny
Clouds enshroud dubious
emotions that fleece my
shredded heart
As mounting desires of
intense anxiety taunt me
Winds assail from every point
beseeching my comfort
I am forlorn in this odyssey
of enchantment
Trying to ascertain guidance
from faded images inscribed
on an old rugged cross
