Redemption <br />We're all in search of <br />For it we seek high and low… <br />But while man only keeps searching <br />Without a hint it's time to go. <br /> <br />Salvation <br />Oh where can she be found? <br />In peace or on troubled shores… <br />She walked out <br />When inequity walked in, <br />Now she stands outside the door. <br /> <br />Folly <br />A friend so convenient <br />In him we find repose… <br />Closing our eyes to what we fear <br />Not knowing, a step behind it tows. <br /> <br />Tranquility <br />What's that? <br />In a world torn apart by war, <br />A fleeting experience in this life… <br />Only keeps one wanting for more. <br /> <br />Illusion <br />That's what you think it is… <br />Till you have cut yourself deep, <br />And bitter realization strikes <br />That you're more than the secrets you keep. <br /> <br />Masquerade <br />So much so <br />You eventually forget who you really are, <br />All those wounds you inflict upon yourself <br />Only leave behind non healing scars. <br /> <br />Chase <br />A pursuit you indulge in… <br />To keep other important things off your mind, <br />In your petty fruitless endeavors <br />The soul in silence dies confined.<br /><br />Martha C Dias<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chasing-after-the-wind-2/
