SANCTUM

A Screenplay

Scene: INT - The Protagonist's Bedroom - EVENING, PRE-TWILIGHT

“And the end of all our exploring

Will be to arrive where we started

And know the place for the first time.”

~T.S. Eliot

A not so idle dreamer
left by the wayside
of your life
didn't achieve enough
to stay the losing
of ties to your heart
Dreamer tried
walked untold miles
minimum wages
never reigned in security
of your eyes . . .

Strangely whole
after the breakage
of your exit stage west
lover next
but you never believed
the hair that wasn't

As Venus chases the Moon
Through the night of October's sky
I forget the song
And can't recall the tune.
All I remember is the pain of the lie.

All my illusions of love,
Of virility, of grace,
You returned them all
Directly to my face.

Bewildered, stilted,
Stunned, and phased.
Never to you, my hand,
Would I have raised.
I hit you with words
My punch-my voice.

We are on the way to avoid a void.
Come back to the firmament. Act not in emptiness.

Lesson: to see the sun, the moon, and the stars inside.

Motivation:

It seems like many of the self-help gurus have the “BIG wake up call,” the grand epiphany or the message in the bottle instructing them to change their ways.

There are moments in time,
frozen forever by the question, "what if ?"
One step in either direction
changes life and the beginnings of lives
not yet lived...
We live in a world
full of wind-blown kisses
and dreams of fires that might have been.
When you see me in your next life,
remember me
and this.

I was reading a post here recently by Rebecca Lerner called "I get by with a little help from my tribe" and I came to a revelation.

I am terrified of finding my own "tribe" and I need to get over being scared.

I'm sure you've all been there.

You thought you were over something - had put whatever the issue was behind you - and then: 'Hello!' It's still there.
