Restless Pondering

Questions asked in recollection of reminiscence
Thinking about wondering about you
The simplistic complex emotions
Pouring slowly from restless fingers

Striking here and there I feel
Telling the world in silence
Writing in stone
That which is lost

Time is our enemy
Flowing briskly around us
Tossing us here and there
Making fun of our dreams

Our wishes lie in ashes
Buried deep
In the soot of our transgressions
Smoldering quietly

Look to the stars
Archaic voices silenced by distance
Smileing peacefully in a wicked world
Ancient cynics of long past

Oceans lie in waste
Waiting for life
Laughing and choking
Struggling for breath

It hurts
Staring at the world blindly
Turning a deaf ear
Becoming numb to the sickness

Immune to the sights
Begging to be heard
Ignoring the sounds
Begging to be seen

Why?
Why must they fight so?
Is it inspiration?
Or just a base instinct?

What is to be gained
From pursuing an impossible endeavor
For chasing a restless dream
For finding a hidden fault?

Nothing
One might declare
Illogical hunting for reason
Logic sought in feeling

Feelings felt by all
Striking endlessly on a broken keyboard.
