I seem to get restless
I have felt it before
Coming in cycles
Mental indispositions
Suffering with tortuous thoughts
I move on
Dwelling leads only to death

I don't know
It is so hard to explain
Mere words cannot touch
The mind just takes over
If I wallow too long
And seem to go nowhere
The switch is thrown
And I must journey forward

I don't know
What keeps me going
Life and its wonders
The anticipation
A new moon perhaps
A sunrise a sunset
The glory of discovery?
These challenges I must pursue

I don't know
How could I explain
When there is no logic
I have no method
No solid intentions
Just inhale
Exhale and
Follow the flow...

I Don't Know

My dear friend and fellow Hippie ....

It is wonderful to view your crafty pen put to page once again. I must say powerfully deep in its perceived meaning ...
it took me on a journey in my own heart and mind and in my struggles to move forward through many pains of my own.

In the end the last stanza speaks volumes.

Peace to you my dear sister

Doggone!
Deep thinkin' poets can sure dwell in the escape of excellence. Ya did it here. Mighty fine capture of, looks to me, frustration. Great write. I too love the endin'.
