So Close Yet Almost Always So Far | Nov 26, 2017

Crumbling leaves decomposing to its basic carbon form
As I remain my silence & stand still throughout this transforming storm
Ages of confusion, ages of doubt
Unmasking glory of mystery and spiritless drought

Guided by a trail of comfort and hope
Always close to grabbing on shreds of its rope
Almost with it reunited as it slips through my fingers
A feeling of strandedness emerges and lingers
So close yet... almost always so far
A battle against myself, I wage the war.

Longing for the rope to unleash the mysteries of my existing
Seeking for more than just words that are willfully uplifting
to be reunited with an essence through which I have come to be
For a thirst consumes me from root to peak
Still growing, yet a final destination I solely seek
Putting all the lift on my shoulder as I climb an internal mountain
Forgetting to satisfy my thirst from your very own fountain

Leaning on my own understanding that has led me astray,
When wonders I will see if my confidence in it I choose to lay
For I can see the footprints of where I was and where I have become
Yet the tide is further clearing away creating more footsteps to be sum
The path seems endless but I know deep down the ends of the waters are rewarding
For the measure of how much I have travelled is persistence, but not that of my own
I was looking for a rope to cling to when in my coding it was written in stone.
