That Perfect Space

Reaching for that perfect space
where I can live my life
tether-free and unbound
no worries nor gripes
A place where I can be myself....
free and anxious-less
A place where no one judges me...
a place..where...I can rest
A place where I express my thoughts..
no matter what they are...
A place of understanding
a place of quiet grace a place where
I can rest assured...
from the rats that run this race.
A place where I can close my eyes...
a place where all is truly 'real'..
A place where words can be silemt
and all one does is 'feel'
Is there even such a place?
or am I searching aimlessly...
blindly looking for something
that isn't meant to be...
Am I to be bound by others' thoughts
projected on to me
The weight of 'their' history
added to my own..without the realizaton
That I should stand alone...
why must I suffer
for the negatives of another's past...
don't you see? this way...the pain
will never pass.
One day to the next
should not be counted by the last.
For each is anew it's own tears and laughter.
Singular to that day...though more will come after
Will I find that Perfect space or am I looking hopelessly..
Knowing if I ever cease to look...
No longer would I be.

  1. Enticing but still poignant… Those that dreams of peace and forgiveness, those that want to have tranquility with one self and the world around them will have to travel to the ends of the world where there are no cars, no currency, and no fear. Places for peace are out there but you would have to give up much more and settle for very little. It’s a choice that we have to divide into two sections - old life and new adventure. To get to a place like that you will have to get past the Dragons, after you pass the Dragons dean, then you will have to make it past the semiautomatic machine guns – there will be exploding ground and barbwire fencing which are called minefields. Once you make it pass the minefields then the peace will be in the jungle near the mountain top. Thank you for sharing.
