No Exit?
We haven't yet spoken
yet curiosity's awoken,
and it's a powerful force.
Unfulfillment's remorse,
as well, gives curious strength
because mind's gone a length
on some endless tiring track
without there being winners.
Neither saints nor sinners
know when such things end...
but right to rest any'll defend.
Things I'd love to know of you
are in essence to loving true
because it still matters to me.
You've never fully set me free.
Your seekings for meaning
have always been my leaning
so we've always that together.
And through life's weather
the fundamentals don't change.
Even if life plans derange.
Are you well, happy... alert?
Does living please or hurt?
Have your ideals survived?
Or do you need to be revived?
If so, I hope you're not dead
and so mistakenly wed
to doldrum drudgery diligence.
It's important to recompense
yourself with motivations
aroused by soulful elations.
