Into the wild: A journey within

Day:
I plan, ponder, imagine
A life away
from the city lights
from the blind races

Dark:
I touch, I feel
Listen, run, hide, steal
I strive and live
Travel far and wide
corners of the globe
shout from the sky
Come back content
to die

With dawn:
my mind, my heart, my soul
the confusions ride
I get all lost
when i look inside

you think its possible to break it though?

and, its a really nice poem. loved reading it.

Where is the picture from? Goya? looks like him...
And...there is something, I cannot quite grasp in that verse. Something remains unsaid. I can feel it but it is not articulated and creates tension.

@Piyush - you re right dude... as always. :)

@srav - Nothing is impossible dear. Stilll in the search for a break through. Either I'll find it, or die happy searching for it. The only cure is, don't accept it.

@Sve - I wish I could find that myself. Let me know when you figure that out.

@Sve - If you must know, its not Goya. :). Its Gustave Doré - Harpies, and now that I know this I think I should credit the poor guy. :)
