[bodytext] => Where are you going, what are you doing? Who are you knowing, why are you asking? These are the questions deep in the night That keep the sleep out of your blanket Bleed out of your insides while the outside is pale Put the lost directions inside your compass Drive the distance in history book pages Sink into the nothing while the weight of you floats on The past is not meant to be lived Riding on the open freight trains Where hobos hide beneath the starry night And tell tales of legends time has grown Instead it is a star surrounded by darkness A puzzle with a copious amount of pieces Left to the beholder to put back together Its purpose is served best in memory Answers always seem to be in the places you’re not looking If you go searching for them you’re bound not to find them But the more you look the sooner you’ll see That truth is the broom that sweeps the world clean And the only way to truly discover it is to be it So stop tossing wood into the stove Fueling the darkness with more light Don’t feed the fire… be it [comments] => 1 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 43 [informant] => zedwards [notes] => To maintain the correct comment to poem ratio, please do not comment on your own work.
