Parts of Me

The Journey

In doubt of truth

I sailed the shores

Of blue-green seas

And purple moors.

I landed here

Upon the sands

Of untold sights

And lying lands.

A sparrow squawked

Its song to me

The notes did fly

Above the sea

He looked at I

With asking eyes

That wondered when

Ambition dies.

I stepped ashore,

Anchored the boat

Looked to the sky;

And cleared my throat

And wondered why

I’d anchored here

When a better

Place was near.

Here I’ve wandered

Through the mists

Of doubting dreams;

Fantastical twists

Lost in thought:

In thought I’m lost

Oblivious to

The life I’ve tossed.
