TWILIGHT SEARCH

TWILIGHT SEARCH


The mind finds purpose

in pursuit of meaning;


openly seeking,

not knowing what.


The sky is vacant,

anaemically slate blue;

but night will fall,


add colour

to a pallid firmament.

The eye will forge


patterns

from a scattering

of stars.


The mind pursues

a greater scheme –


not knowing what.

Beautiful poem. I love the last line about searching but not knowing what. I feel that in your search will come your answers whatever they may be. It is definitely a process, a long journey, but as long as you keep your eyes open you'll be amazed at what you run into.
