the force that

The force that drives the water through the rocks
Drives my red blood; that dries the mouthing streams
Turns mine to wax.
And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins
How at the mountain spring the same mouth sucks.
--Dylan Thomas

the morning starts with energy beyond the morning's force
bolts of raw energy charge my body in wakeful sleep
dreams beyond the realm of dreams
the force that energizes, wakes me, induces sleep
dreams projecting truths I've chosen to ignore
in humble quest, searching from place to place, door to door
revisiting the old familiar places, searching for the one familiar face
at every door the same familiar name, scent, warmth and all the senses
driven by a desire beyond desire, propelled by jolts of energy
once again those others electrified me
there is but just one mission with one objective
a purpose all to clear ... to move forward, I have to push the other forward too

I feel sadness, yet I’m not sad; Absent the sense of your presence That accompanies my loneliness Far into unknown places. I lost myself in my words— The ones casting my road; I’m too lost in the dreams That weave a labyrinth before me.
