SEARCHING

taunted by demons…
hopes and dreams, elaborated, lost;
flags wave in surrender
for failure, to god and goddess

feeling indigenous to nowhere
never my intention,
long-held rituals have lost their meaning;
the sacred, abandoned

searching for significance
my heart and soul, tied together by string
seeking my own personal summit
I visit the place of peace
