Touching Horizons

Maze of torturous thoughts
No way to get at truth
Eating into minds and hearts:
What is thruth?
A grain of shifting sand
A moment's certainty
Drowning in oceaans of doubt.
Release their chains
Set those spirits free
and see them fly-
to frolic with winds
to flow with tides
to brave dancing waves
to touch horizon beyond horizons.

I know not

A voice speaks out of the blue
man or maid- I know not
words weaving intricate webs
inviting, enticing
seducing, menacing-
to stand, to respond
to run in fear- I know not;
there's magic, there's poison
to mistrust a thousand reason
yet I return
mesmerized, or stupified
or plain naive- I know not.
