The Benefits to Limbo

Nights of crystalline calm-
Of perfect beauty in insular embrace.
The wind blew cold and the snow muted the din
Of cars that seemed a forever away.

I sat on stools that grew into buildings
A blissful throne in nowhere familiar.
Enthralling! to be in my home not home
So far away and commanding alone.

Though I felt the sorrow abounding
Surrounding me like walls tend to go with no roof
I knew there was a capstone missing in my life
But the thrill of finding it was more exciting that the success.

My eyes would twinkle with thoughts of the journey
And the wind spoke loud and I'd followed it so long.
Now I've found my place and the wind's deaf inside
There's nowhere to hide when you've accomplished your goals.

I would say to those looking for happiness
To keep looking because the journey is the happiest you'll be.
