Ever Existence of Explanations

By Doc

Explanations.
Endless explanations
A rebellion of answers
Reflecting on a cure,
The cure for ones Endless
Existence.

Slowly trotting through the desert
Hot in day
White at night.
Never ending cycles
Dry dusty water
Cool refreshing sand
The sahara is not so bad.

An old man walks through town.
He limps in pleasure
With every single hop
His face moves like water
His eyes
Filled with sand.

Irrelevance
Lost in the forest on time
Trapped together
With the countless advice
Of a million dead poets
Sung only by the last
Of the Delta legend
Singing through the soul.

The old man meets the horse
Somewhere near providence
He mounts the horse
Riding off towards the sand
Leaving the ocean behind
Never knowing where he was going
And never asking
For an explanation.

    this seemed something like blind faith to me...unsteady steps taken eagerly..a crooked smile worn as long as you can keep walking..it seemed fragmented to me or perhaps that was just the images that flashed into my head like an old black and white western..interesting and glad to see you posting again ~k
