Like ink running off the neck of a feather,
He draws upon a shaky conclusion as he trembles to get his thoughts right,
A conclusion he does not love.
But one he remains firm on, as firm as the lone leader of a pack of wolves howling into the night, standing at the edge of a crevice so deep,depth deserved a new definition;
"Why is the world just a shallow earthen pot of half sun-baked black dahlias,
Why is it always a true story that when every man, woman or child you know,
Why is the population of the very planet You grew up on,
Why is it virtually a sin to wander unto yourself and
Why is it Wrong to be random and spiral out of yourself to explore metaphysical depths untold of, while it is Right to be a typically traditional God fearing individual
Why did the sacred art of Love involve
The answer would never come to him, he concluded.
Struck his heart like a poisoned arrow it did, that Change was not possible.
He would have to live on.
Live on.
Live on.
Live on, and yet not daring to Live as Living was meant to be Lived.
Not for one moment, daring to step out of the circle of fire drawn around him by the rest of the mindless souls marching on towards the End.
Not for one moment, daring to hope that someday, he might just find that one person to complete him and shine Light upon his thoughts.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Ah, the travesties of an unsatisfied incomplete man, he thought.
It was all part of the game of Life. No strings attached, but no spiral staircases into the unknown either.
* Soft music in the distance*
A discontent sigh of a man shaken by his own conclusions,
as he turns to a mirror and looks into his own eyes, thinking
'Maybe it is not meant to be.
Maybe I am not meant to reach out.
Maybe I am not meant to step beyond the invisible boundaries I couldn't cross.
Maybe I am meant to walk on an already trodden path towards a Dead End I would never see. And maybe, just maybe, my thoughts weren't meant to cross a Human mind. '
Is that not a sad sight to see, my friend?
Because, I will tell you, maybe that man is Me.

Insightful. Really, really insightful.
Such strong feelings. Really.
