Unending thirst

I walk a mile a day to see,

The mile has become shorter.

I fail to find the missing key,

I’ve become a living mortar.

I wake up an hour earlier now,

Trying to put an end to my misery.

I don’t understand how,

I ever will be free.

I changed my taste of music,

Trying to strike a new beat.

On second thoughts, I’m feeling sick,

Maybe I should accomplish another feat.

I take a thousand lives away to bring a thousand souls alive

My curse is not forgotten, it weighs me in.

I see beyond the horizon, an ocean for me to dive,

It is the pool of death, there’s no way I can win.

The wind would often ruffle past with loud whispers in my ear,

Now it seems to slither away, in and out of my trail.

The birds now chirp louder to my dissension, to let me know they’re there.

The snow is far from sight, all I see is hail.

My vital signs seem great today,

And so does the dew on the grass.

An epiphany inside sees a glittering ray,

I know I can’t let this pass.

The wind swings to my wishful whim,

My feet press with comfort on the ground beneath.

My resolution is firm, confidence to the brim,

Finally, I feel it is safe to breathe.

I can now live a thousand lives,

With the blessing of immortality.

I seek to spread the joy it derives,

Trying to bring hope in calamity.

Frowns unfold into smiles as I walk past,

The valley is no longer dark and vile.

I hoist in the sky, the flag of a cloudy mast,

I’m at home and yet in exile.

I’ve quenched my unending thirst,

To see heaven on earth, descending.

I’m sure I haven’t seen it first,

My thirst is still unending.
