I have uncovered the full force of my un-recourcedness. <br />I have come away empty handed, <br />Without even the meagre tools <br />I had come to trust. <br /> <br />I had always dreamed of the warrior cast into the wilderness. <br />She would be free from responsibility, <br />scoured of day to day worries, <br />released from the fear of death. <br /> <br />I had always dreamed I could cast myself adrift <br />From bodily needs, human needs. <br />I would exist in tiny things, <br />A blade of grass <br />A ripple on a stream. <br /> <br />I had dreamed that I could choose <br />To cease struggling for nourishment <br />Exist on in another place. <br />To say 'no more, I'm, going away now'. <br />'I refuse to fight anymore'.<br /><br />Jane Roberts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/casting-adrift/
