Endless Trials How like a trivial song that is unknown A madness of mystery that is embraced That like a juniper bush Upon the cliffside hill shall it sing Where does it end? What makes its heavenly hymn a mystery? The sound of whispers from the wind coming from the part Or perhaps someone shakes the bush with glee A simple look upon something indentifying That was the goal to find its point Never to see that one sought Only to make something that has become lost Defining like a pointer from the sky A beacon A memory A hint of the lost The step through the woods That path has been made A trek to begin The journey underway The paths divided Suddenly six ways to go All that lead to a sunday long past Time is in flux, but never to be outdone Only recalled and remembered Like a bad memory that is staining Hurting and found to be forged A collaboration of the worst and the best Bringing something truly horrible and incredible forth That thing there shall hold thee long In an embrace that will not be let go Only clutched, hugged, and clinched Unwilling to part from that which is life The destiny that ye shall always avoid But never will its phase stop following you It is the pursuer and how romantic it is to hunt To find thee enfolded by its arms, infinitely wide like soft coils they find To bring a form close to its chest, held as if the grip were loving and well meanining To be caressed tenderly by tendrils, that which feign a beloved whisper of how okay it shall be There when the method to its madness becomes known, still it holds on and watches over shoulder For the future is never kept or known, only that it is a set of trials without end For this path and choices of known or unknown paces, of an undetermined length...that is life.
