Mirage

all that I
believed in
was but a dream
a carnival
a fanfare
or so it seemed

I wanted
to capture
all that was
in my vision
I thought I could
but 'twas my illusion

the further I went
the farther it got
was it a horizon
or a mirage
that which
I sought

I blinked my eyes
dream was gone
the mask torn
reality dawned
even before
my thought formed

Wanderer

She traveled 
far and wide
a sole wanderer
in quest of peace
across oceans, plateau
n' the jaded forests
crossin' deserts, planes
n' the mired valleys
 
She traveled 
far and wide
a sole wanderer
in search of love
the obscured sky above
the moonlit galaxy
besprinkled with stars
guiding her as a lighthouse

She traveled 
far and wide
a sole wanderer
in pursuit of answers
through unknown paths
where no man had tread
keeping her will alive 
in her sparkling eyes

Unfazed by the outcome of ~
her quest, search n' pursuit
bewildered by the realities
of the vagaries of life
imbuing the realms
like a wise sojourner
She traveled 
far and wide
a sole wanderer!
