Salt in my lungs
Carried by this man from the shore
Naught left but chaff
From the voyage I endured
Brought to by his alien voice
The left hand path calls me to the hills
The well meaning recluse I bid him farewell
What hope will I have there to find something true
Alone in the wilderness seeking meaning anew
Have I gone wrong
Seeing things only as myself
Shall I desist
From looking solely to the past
Has purpose been
In everything around all along
Or is it naive
To believe that order prevails
What is joy
Can it thrive
May a man
Feel its life
Bright eyed child
Look to the sky
I need a vantage point
To reach understanding
Make sense of man's mind
Grasp a kingdom's plight
