In the Corner of the Dark

I have not yet seen all the places I need to see
I have not yet met all the people who were described so detailed to me
I have never been to the far reaches of written lore
I have not eaten at every café to taste what is in store

I may one day accomplish what I seek
I can but this may actually take more than one week

I will again return home to record my story
I must fill my mind but taste until I fill my belly

I have not seen these places
I have not seen the melting pot of smiling faces
I cannot go to the far reaches of entanglement
I have not dined at every foreign establishment

But yet I have seen
But yet I have met
But yet I have traveled
But yet I have eaten

Somewhere in the far reaches my imagination reaches
Somewhere in the corner my creativity is the thing that teaches
Somewhere in the darkness lies the people I chose to meet
Somewhere in my determination I have eaten all there is to eat

Time passes and the minutes tend to change my stride
For once again I keep the things to see hidden deep inside
May the ticking of time tell of my lengthy spark
Longing to be free as I sit alone staring in the corner of the dark
