Turbulence

For me, it is a great sight,

Beautiful and profound.

Though it pains my eyes,

Pestering like a ray of light,

Even blurring the unclear view of the cloud sea. 

 

Straying away from smoothness,

There comes a forceful thrust,

Piercing within,

Ailing the peace in my mind,

Hurting the music in my soul. 

 

Like a journey, once known,

Towards where I am destined for.

Then a sudden thought...

Wondering, asking...

Where do I go now?

Now, an unknown quest.

 

For me, it feels wonderful,

Swimming onto the misty sea,

Wishing to stay even for a while.

Yet, where I am it hurts,

Bothers so hard I wish to go. 

 

But where? 

Where do I go? 

Where do I take off? 

And in wherever,

Where do I land? 

In where?
