Forward Unto Nothing

Forward Unto Nothing

A Poem by Ian Faraway
"

A wandering soul is an eerie thing.

"

Will you accompany me

As I walk endlessly

On this stoned path?

The echoes of my

Footsteps are all

That keep me company

As I walk

Forward Unto Nothing


Will you forgive me

As I get lost

On this dark path?

The blindness of

This journey leaves me

Scared and unsure

Even so, I must go

Forward Unto Nothing


It seems I've spent

More than a life

Walking, almost stumbling

On this path

Trying to find meaning

For this old, weary soul

Alone I go on

Forward Unto Nothing


Please don't laugh

As I trip over stones

That stand in my way

For each fall

Kills me inside

I will slowly rise

And drag on

Forward Unto Nothing


Please don't yell

When I go down

A darker path

For the silence

Deafens me so

My ears bleed

Quivering my eyesight, I go

Forward Unto Nothing


For you reading this

You are as I am

A soul wandering through

Numerous paths searching

For the same thing

A purpose

Until then, we march

Forward Unto Nothing


And as you wander

You might meet a stranger

One who will accompany

This journey with you

Maybe they are your purpose

Most journey alone

Searching and drifting aimlessly

Forward Unto Nothing


Nothing that will ever be found

Until the last breath

Is drawn

In the loneliness

That is our journey

Our 'life'

A sad but true poem. Loneliness is part of our life. I like the journey in your words leading the reader to a strong ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
