Trekkings

He trekked all over the world
He trekked all over his country
He trekked all over his beloved Island
He trekked all over downtown
He trekked all over his neighborhood
Re-discovering.  Nowadays
He's trekking the halls of this
Old Age residence
Trying to find new meanings to it all.

Within this forest
My heart does beat
For wander I so lost
A soul searching for a mate
Or a kindred soul to meet

So dark this forest
so dusky so frightening
and yet, compelled, I traverse on
I quest and search for someone
To take my hand and lead me out    

This forest live within my existence
Engulfing passion clutching my being
Lives on and on, ever darkening
Grasps me it in merciless love
I wander on touching each falling leaf

Thus I meander as I wait
For haloes of breaking lights
To guide me out from this darkest of night
Until I see the break of dawn
Here I be, lost and forlorn

So many miles I've trod
with thumb 'sack and smile,
and hardly ever wished would God  
ease those long lone miles.
 
Up the hill and down the dale
I've hared humming some happy tune,
and hardly ever wished it shared
in daylight or at night's moon.
 
Well, the morning of my life has gone
sole and smile worn thin,
and the crooning of my song
turned to lamenting.
 
To retrace my step to where you dwell
ah, if only it could be so,
but I heard the ringing chapel bell
peal to me to go...

Entranced by thought, I ponder life's grand scheme  
A man adrift, uncertain, lost at sea  
What purpose do I serve, what is my theme?  
These questions haunt my soul so ceaselessly
 
Does meaning lie in worldly wealth and fame?  
Or in the bonds of love that warm the heart?  
Perhaps my purpose hides in Nature's frame  
To tend her lands and play a humble part
 
But as I search, my answers ebb and flow  
Like tides that kiss the shore with rhythmic grace  
The paths I've walked, diverged, and fate did sow  
Yet clarity still hides its gentle face
 
And so I choose to wander and explore In solitude
I'll find the truths I yearn for  
Lonely, I shall tread the untrodden road  
Embrace the solitude, innate and deep  
For in this solitude, my soul has showed  
A glimpse of purpose, hidden in shadows' keep
 
The bustling world, with all its noisy schemes  
Drowns out the whispers of the cosmic plane  
But in the stillness, where silence redeems  
I'll find the meaning that shall break the chain
 
For God, or fate, or chance has brought me here  
To seek the truths that lie in unknown lands  
To cast away the doubts and banish fear  
To follow destiny with steadfast hands
 
In solitude, I'll find the inner light  
Amidst the darkness, shining through the night
 
Broken and weary, yet resolute  
I'll journey on, with purpose as my guide  
Through valleys deep and mountains absolute  
With open heart and mind, I shall confide
 
So let me wander, seeking truth alone  
In solitude, my purpose shall be known

'In God we trust', famous words for common man,
Giving the stars to the sun in exchange for moon dust,
never forgiving but always trying to trust.
Maybe one day the astronaut
will leave his lofty, heavenly abode
and find his place amongst the stars on
the boulevard, where our dreams
we do so casually discard.
Moon dust in your eye
trust in God and swallow the lie,
you'll go far kid
the bottom does have no end after all,
Trust God and embrace your fall.
