When
you hit that personal terminal
All
your wishes and hopes rush at you like wild animals.
You can
even reach out and touch your dream.
Cause
yeah, it becomes literally and practically animated.
There
is a captivating fact about reaching destination;
It's a
definition of the individual void of inessential interruption.
It’s
the turning point of an entire life, the power of a billion suns
At your
fingertips; the climax of fulfillment on the fringes of your mind.
Cause
you have thru fear and trembling, gained a customized paradise.
As you
wade in the water, the sensation gets you high,
You observe
meaning in the dark side of the moon.
You
have arrived and rivers of tranquility cuddle and pamper you.
Everybody
falls for something at some point in the race of life.
It
might dock you on a peaceful shore or haul in the storms of strife.
Still
nobody dares deny the evidence of that special something; inspired
Just about
the size of a morsel of desire,
That
ignites your passion and overrides your senses like a consuming fire
Giving
verve to your dreams and on rare occasions, exhibiting
A knack
for running along and rendering you disarmed and incomplete.
I have
stumbled on the verge of discovery
The surprising
thing is I was slighted by the cause of searching.
What is
it I search for?
That my
soul will not exist but fall for?
If I am
to nail it at every turn of the road, I cannot tell for sure.
But I must
continue searching though it brings me to my knees.
Because
it burns within my heart like hot embers, impossible to resist.
Once again,
I’m headed down the long and winding itinerary,
The place
where desire is born, not knowing exactly what I might find,
Yet determined
to never give it up until I bind.
Because
the tragedy is not to die but to be wasted.
No
other ill could more effectively root on a crippled life.
I have
pasted my ears to eternity and I wear my heart like a bracelet.
