Enigma Poem by Danny The Dreamer Boyd

'Across the sturdy mountains,
And above the cloudy skies:
There lies but dry fountains,
For bidding oh, mere goodbyes.'

'Look closer and you'll see
What hides beyond the wind,
And there too should be
A shadow and no friend.'

'It's only where the real doth bind,
With the short ephemeral dreams:
That's when the peace of mind
Will clear, from all darkened streams! '

I looked around for hours but,
Could not find a thing;
And wondered whether of what I've got:
To let go or to cling!

I've wasted almost all my life,
Frightened greatly of change;
But stability never ended strife,
Yet led me to what's strange.

It seems bizarre to comfort find
Comfortably lying in pain,
As numbness is always behind;
So how much can you sustain?

After such futile search I froze,
Because I no more could abide;
But then beside myself I was:
As the answer was deep inside!

'Amongst the shadow and wind,
Right where you did begin:
The start is but the end:
As the answer lies within.'
