I Walk on the Sand

I walk on the golden sand

wondering about Myself, pondering about the Future

Still have no earthly idea what Direction to take

so damned confused in this Life with people who talk so smoothly

I shutter to think what kind of Life my children will have One Day

Will they feel like lost Souls?...bumping around in the Shadows

hoping to find some Happiness

...I walk on the sand

with the great Ocean looming before me like a Phantom

waiting to snatch something away from

--me--

But I think of that not for Life is speeding by without any Stops

along the short drive

I want to Taste Life to the fullest but can I love Myself enough to

Free Myself from my bounds?
