A Lone Warrior

Introspection is a comfort

alone to digest my thoughts

to ask for guidance

from an invisible source

I sit motionless

waiting for the answers

and they come in

fragmented pieces

ready for me to

translate into

form

a conversation for the lone traveller

the time traveller

who transverses the universe

looking for meaning

looking for hope

looking for new heights of pain

so new ground can be covered

like some unchartered discovery

into the very deep recesses of ones

mind and soul

a pain filled tapestry

constructed with barbs to

prick and harm even the most

seasoned warrior.

so as the seasoned warrior

I begin my journey

armed and scarred

I slash the wild thicket

of the gates of grief

my blades cut through

bushes of hurt and pain

only to clear further

unkempt wild bush

gnarly twists at each corner

grope for their existence

vines of destruction cling to me

feeding on me as if I provide them

with an elixir for life !

parasititic, yet necessary

Oh I slash and burn

this jungle !

but it grows before me

ever-growing, relentlessly

and I alone must wrestle with it

for my own existence

lest it taketh from me

what I have already lost !
