nothing concluded 37

wishing on a lonely star
only because
it is there
no hope that the wish
might actually come true

my heart
is a door
shut well and
uses no bolts
cannot be opened

my mind
is a knot
tied tight and
uses no rope
cannot be untied

parts of him
he cannot understand
problem probably
he tries too hard
to find

stop trying
start doing
know the saying
there stands a wall
keeping him still

feeling weak
at any moment
a sign
he once
must have been strong

he tries for days
without going backwards
to find that strength
he knows he had
but where

he sees
the subtle light illuminating
from all things
it leads him to believe
there is a subtle light within him

sometimes that which is truly
bright appears to be dark
that which goes forward seems
to fall behind and all that is level
is far from being even

he may actually lose something
as he gains on some else
and vice versa
(you get the picture)
nothing concluded…
