without......
By urbanhumility
i am without.........
there is a void i cannot name
there is a man i was.....
i am entrapped......with all my intelligence.....and failing wisdom.....
there my "will",......forgotten.
i must fathom this deepness....
i must breech this dreamlike wall.....
i must see my reflection in the lazy stream i lay by.....
i am without......
i must reach within.....

I appreciate this one, Urban. It's so hard to see oneself without the filters of what we want to be. Even harder to admit our failings inside, own them, and strive to rise above. Well spoken.

This whole piece is so complete. I get the sense of loss with each line, without... each line is without something intangible, but that makes it full of meaning and beauty (in words at least) well done!
