LandStalker pt.1 (terra firma)
Here I am, there I lay….. Laid down in the earth Becoming one with the substance from which I was taken In touch with my land, my earth, my home Casting my gaze upward I praise the sky So that my earthly bond my be broken I contemplate the Human Nature, and I don’t seem to find Any traces of my own Instead I am disgusted By it’s ignorance & fragility, emptiness & futility Laid down in the earth I observe the Cosmos And wonder if it’s eternal and infinite blackness Contains the key to my inner void….. And as I’m enveloped by this abyss I see the answers are drawn before me But chaotically I….do not hold the key……the one which allows me To decipher such a puzzle Laid down in the earth I close my eyes, open my mind And try to perceive the unpercievable, Grasp the infinite, the wisdom, The nothingness which fills me How I wish to enter my mind Temporarily abandon this forsaken routine, leave behind life… And enter neither immortality, nor death Not light nor darkness Just a simple state of being Maybe then I could be the true master of my thoughts But do I really want to be my own master? No…..for I seek answers, not power Yet this raises another question Even if my unconsciousness and dark side of mind Could be reached and tampered with…. Would I remain the same person….who knows… Never the less, the shackles of reality restrain me And I am still here…simply laying in the dirt… How many horizons must I gaze into…. How many earth’s must I lie above to find the answers? Maybe…this earth…is where I will find the key This thought comforts me and so I rise Unfulfilled, but more complete, and wise I am already a part of the theater of life… But which role do I take in this lonely play? -KnowOne © William Crabbe 2001
