Of Wanderlust Or Way-finding

by Idinma | Jul 18, 2019

a voyage to the ends of the earth, across the sea

in search of something I'll know when I see

wonder and light to take the darkness away

20,000 steps a day, aches to keep my demons at bay

i used to think

there was such strength to be found

in traveling the world

i wasn’t wrong

four years three moons ago

but today

<for me>

strength lies in staying

in not running away

from my demons

<from myself>

except my demons and myself are one

enemy

<inner me>

one of these days, I'll find my way back to my song

to beats and sounds I imagine were there all along

just like life to shrink and stretch and twist and turn

a journey to soothe this life and its cruel slow burn
