An Unfinished Fable

Left it while I gazed up the stars,
left it where the tides were high, 
till the memory made my senses daft.
On the road shunned out and wide. 

Left it in a fear unknown,
left it far beyond my reach.
Left it when a light that shone 
and made numinous and weak.

Left it in an anticipation,
left it for more and so forth, 
Left it in the anticipation,
that more shall come down this road. 

Left it for a beginning,
left it for an end,
left it for I knew I could do better,
left it let go. 

Left it to pursue, 
a dream forbidden and wild. 
left it on a trivial thought,
left it on a mountain high.

Everything stopped me,
the universe waved its signs,
I left it for more reasons,
than I could keep in my mind. 

Alibis, excuses, 
made me forget it all,
what substance, what matter,
there was a start, and an end, 
and a long road henceforth.

There’s never a beginning,
that destiny pens,
There’s never an end,
where utopia extants.

Left if unfinished I did, 
Left it for a new start, 
Now I only keep searching, 
where I left my unfinished fable,

this fable of my hermit heart.
