Chasing the Equatorial Horizon
January 9, 2012Ω
Walking in a circle
revisiting each step
again and again
Ad infinitum
.
Ending and beginning
in the Chasm
Highpoint of memory
bottomless in despair
.
If if virtue is gold
my soul is poor
each revolution
refilling the pit with debt
.
In it collects the runoff
of apprehension and fear
as a cauldron of doubt
and crucible for folly
.
yet at the edge again
by my choice
i bring myself
wan and bridgeless
.
Though after the crossing
as i emerge and walk yet away
am i really leaving
or beginning the trip back
ω
I was compelled to leave a comment.
I know you are in your winter mood
in the cocoon of despair that makes you feel miles away.
I know all the things that you “blame” for where you are.
Perhaps, just perhaps, If you can find the things to be grateful for, instead of the things that bring you down?
Perhaps if you look at what is in the cup, instead of the volume?
I would have the magic elixir to bring you joy, but my spells only work on me…
It seems you recognize the pattern and the path of the circle and yet you haven’t trusted yourself enough to walk straight forward. The path ahead be it straight, up or down is hard but do you really think it can be any harder then continuing in circles?
I jumped off a circular trail recently…it was hard. Myself I think staying on the circle would have been harder on my soul.
I hope you find your new beginning.
