Reality’s Wilderness
I am lost in the maze of reality;
seeking understanding;
living in a realm of duality;
my Lord and Master, commanding.
I find myself searching for reasons;
in hope of finding answers;
discovering life has many seasons;
beset with tragedy and cancers.
Its purpose continues to elude me;
its valleys; deep and wide;
half my being manages to exclude me;
in reality’s wilderness, I hide.
I’ve lost the woman of my dreams;
seems she’s buried in a garden;
I failed her, in so many ways, it seems;
I seek her love and a pardon.
In the mist of a morning fog;
I wander, aimlessly;
perhaps she was my analog;
without her; I cease to be.
There was a time; when both were one;
when reality came to be;
before the first setting sun;
I was her; and she was me.
She had a different name; and so did I;
in heaven; our being was torn apart;
thoughts of her love; still make me cry;
my Eve and I, shared the same heart.
