211017 WITHIN WITHOUT

There lies a place inside a hollow
a space where light does not follow
where thoughts fly with carefree abandon
on wings encircling patterns random

Its elusive not plain to see
Its always where its meant to be
In waking hours as you stumble
through life's hurdles as you bumble
suddenly it appears with clarity
that glen of peace, that rarity

And just as soon, it disappears
and like a flash return the fears
You wonder if it was real
the flip side of the reveal
Suddenly there's possibility
which questions your ability
Shakes the foundations of the devout
and leaves you searching within, without.
