Journey

Geni Kelepouris

Life is like a journey like a river flowing
From the mountain to the sea
A constant stream of time
Restricted by the banks of consciousness
As its pulled towards the quay

We were noble creatures born to adventure
To seek the journeys tale
But from long ago we lost our vision
No longer sought, nor searched
Life's fable

We forgot, you see, that we were born free
We damned the rivers edges
To trap the flow toward the sea
The rivers journey no longer stable
The flow of conscious thought now stagnant visions
Repeated by every second one of thee.

But then I remember that life is free
That the stream of time cannot be broken
No matter how hard we fight for thee
It will always break free
And flow towards the sea

Geni Kelepouris

I began writing when i was 16. I enjoy expressing myself through all forms of art ( my profile pic is one of my art pieces). I have had a life full of tragedies and suffer post traumatic stress. I find that art and writing soothes my soul and allows me to heal from all the pain that has been haunting me. I have an obsession with existence and love nothing more than to discuss all the different theories of why we are here. My poems cover a range of topics from love and inspiration to complete random mania. There are also some very deep poems that i needed to write to get the sorrow from my life. I just hope whoever is reading them enjoys them. more…
