The Search for Purpose and Reason


Rain doesn't fall, it pours
From my eyes into emptiness
Broken only by confusion's obstacles
Softened only by the silent echoes
Of a heart's fearful release 

There is no peaceful departure
No calm after the storm
It comes and it goes as a lighthouse beacon
But instead of exuding safety
It bleeds uncertainty and despair

My body grows weak, heavy
Its senses obscured by loss
Loss of emotion, loss of its life force
Loss of stability, loss of clarity
And so, hollowness finds a home

Empty and lonely, my heart searches
For the light of purpose and reason,
It asks the same question over and over
Are You here guiding me?
Holding my hand as I weep?

Will sunshine come again?
Questions, filled with doubt
Lost in "someday's" endless maze
The present weighs on my heart
And I sit in confused silence
