Unresolved Chords

Twas a journey fraught with pain

Disturbing sequences 

With nothing to gain

No inner voice

Spoke of restraint

Frustration ruled 

And remains

Filling up my day

So now I must return

Old beginnings

I never learned

Where new born thoughts

Were often spurned

No love lost

No love earned

Shouldn't be this way

Purpose and meaning

Misconstrued

As a result

It seemed so rude

No satisfaction

In being crude

I’ve learned in life

To have my say

Tension opens

Another door

Another world

To explore

Wondering what

Is in store

To send this journey

On it’s way

Hanging out

Away from home

Living the life

I have roamed

At times I’ve felt

I’ve been entombed

From moving

So far away

Would you mind if

I hung out here

Mending fences

My mind will clear

Learning lessons

That will endear

Cadences 

Will earn their pay
