Zeal
The shadows have darker shadows on the path unknown.
Surrounded by people, I'm always alone.
No passengers on this journey.
On a starless night odyssey.
To find the known in my bone.
Coated in the resilient sparkle of lessons
learned.
Pain is purpose revealed.
Nestled deep in the horrors is buried the zeal.
Surrounded by people, I'm always alone.
No passengers on this journey.
On a starless night odyssey.
To find the known in my bone.
Coated in the resilient sparkle of lessons
learned.
Pain is purpose revealed.
Nestled deep in the horrors is buried the zeal.

Wow! This is quite dark actually, especially where even shadows have shadows. I really like that thought as I do the sadness, that hints to hibernation with your buried zeal. Excellent expression here. 🙁

Thanks for your comments. I had a bolt of creativity with that zeal line. And I do have very much buried zeal, lol

There is indeed a burden to bear in life, being a person. A lot of suffering is involved. Purpose and truth aren't a given, and the drive to the unraveling mystery in those is a seemingly lonesome pursuit. The closest thing we have to that in life is family, heh. Anyway, I can relate to this quite well. There is definitely a willingness to keep trying and keep fighting, once you "veer" past darkness. I like how you added the last line about zeal. I guess you have to try not to let things get you down, though you do quite well in capturing the perception of a haunting enigma here. This is quite an expressive and unique observation, with a sort of "blue" tint of imagination. It could be seen as depressing, but I see past that. The last line, about zeal, really puts a spin to the whole thing. That's what I mean about keep trying and keep fighting. Anyway, overall, nice depiction, and capturing of emotion, environment, direction, etc. Take care!

Hi! I'm so glad you saw past the darkness. Deep within the struggle, if we can fight past, that's where our peace/zeal is. That line just came out of nowhere, lol. I guess I see life now as a lesson from every pain. And we metamorphosis. Ok before I get too wacky, lol - thank you ever so much for your comments. It is very nice of you to detail that out and it always helps me. Take care!!!!
