through a path
of love and loss
we find a new way

to understand the soul
to fill that age old hole
is the dream of all
Am I closer than them?

with love
and life
and loss
and lingering

when everything is twisted into perfection
these feelings are not just mine
these problems follow
like taxes and time

So what is it we find
in the recesses of the mind
is it the truth we seek?
or just a soothing rhyme

Truth is not the answer
just a fact we’d strive to adhere
and believe what is real
denounces fantasy

when in fact another truth speaks
this one won’t settle fears
in its own right
she will simply state

Therein lies a fragment
of this coveted truth
within all hearts
it is not the property of a single man
but of every creature, sky and star

so fall into conundrum
a puzzle of the years
you’ll find indivis paths
are a long dead fear

when all we’ve left
is our own sweet minds
its then we see
the truth in lies

A human on the path
is like a human in the sky
both can see
the other side

A human in its home
is like a human on the road
both can see
the truth can fantasize
