at the gates of abandon

 what do you seek?

ye who enters,

who beckons thusly, who touches the night

and its many faces.

how you stumble,

how you croak,

where do you travel

so swiftly, so swiftly.

how a mind wanders,

and seeks to rest, yet

little success to measure,

slowly measured, toiled and

under; i shudder and wonder.

what could you find

that thus would be happy,

what makes that smile,

what makes your laughter,

what makes you crumble

when do you exit?

why even bother...

who strikes out in purpose,

made with a mention, made by the

heavens; the mystery

of the evening, the silent

of the night, carry me gently,

tell me so softly,

whisper quiet alrights

whisper me solace

whisper the right thing

so that i can shutter all my

worry, and answer the query.

i seek life everlasting,

i seek omnipotent knowing,

i seek a most humble meeting,

with mighty creator,

i seek understanding,

i seek penance, repentant and guilty,

i am but human

i seek some salvation,

harmony, harmonized, corporeal bloody being.
