Ephemeral Paths: A Poetic Story

Enepalese Published on: July 20, 2024

The Empty Horizon

Life without an objective is no life,

A ship adrift in a boundless, dark night.

Life without direction is no life,

A wanderer’s journey devoid of light.

The Labyrinth of Labor

Epistemology whispers truths to the air,

Labor, they say, shapes destiny fair.

Destiny, in turn, cradles tranquility,

Yet some souls find only calamity.

The Unending Circle

No matter the miles we tread or the stride,

We reach nowhere, no matter how wide.

The circle of hardships encircles tight,

Leaving no exit, no dawn in sight.

The Void of Affection

Life without love is no life,

A heart without its soft, tender strife.

Life without peace is no life,

A mind ensnared in endless strife.

The Silent Knowledge

Ontology claims love brings knowledge pure,

Yet many hearts, despite love, endure

Ignorance, confusion, and endless plight,

In the darkness, they search for elusive light.

The Fleeting Gift

Life is a gift, beauty, and joy,

Yet, often, it feels like a cruel ploy.

Most wander through shadows and haze,

Missing the brilliance of life’s short days.

The Flickering Flame

No clue what life truly is,

How to set goals, or why do we miss

The fire of desire, the spark to ignite,

To concentrate, to reach the light.

The Perpetual Struggle

Many times, we try to rise but fall,

No matter who we are, standing tall.

No clue which energy pulls us down,

Which force in shadows makes us drown?

Seeking the Light

In the end, we seek a guiding star,

To find our path, no matter how far.

For in every heart, a fire can burn bright,

Leading us from darkness into the light.
