I travel with no ship nor sail

Into the abyss I travel with no ship nor sail.
The flowing seas below me or above.
The winds blowing around me nor they be profound to me still.
I fight the battle with no purpose though the life is lived and the stage set.
Now if only I may see what is hidden or under this veil.
I wish no harm and find all dire.
My thoughts require effort as though they tire.
Mind stainless while the soul becomes cracked.
Much to say yet language lost of all value.
The path hidden now, the season alien, the wonder colorless.
The sky painted, the trees animated, the care in this world limited.
Years consume days, seconds that of hours, while moments fade before arising.
Under I now sit, above I stand, and below I wonder.
Inspired by the few, angered by the masses, tired by the whole.
Tomorrow is never, while today only was, if only a moment could be forever.
Perhaps then, instead of now could be remembered.
The hue, not the shade, the shape nor the size, the value or name.
That beyond which is, through sight or touch, smell or taste, sound or otherwise.
Abyss before me, around me & within.
Nothing becomes everything.
In Lak'ech

About this poem:
Defines aspects of my perspective within life, limiting the scale of it all down to a single moment in time where I can view it all from up close while still seeing the whole picture.

Lastly;

In Lak'ech : I am you, and You are me
It's a Mayan greeting which would be said to all things as a sort of vague yet understanding form of hello.

The ups and downs in life. Oh how we wish to stay in the ups and by pass the downs. Sorry I didn't read this sooner, but when I see a long poem and I'm in a hurry (which is often) I tend to gravitate towards the shorter ones. Glad I took the time to read and welcome to Connecting Singles Poetry Corner!
