Soul Search

It's been years since I am doing this
But still seems like
I've just dusted the covers
I've a long way to go
In the direction of my soul search

Being a day-dreamer to the core
The bat of an eyelid
And I'm into this trance
Gazing at the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

The covers are peeled slowly
To reveal a tunnel
Deep, dark and mysterious
Leading to the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

As I step in there
A fear grapples my mind
Rendering me helpless
And I lose the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

Then something strange happens
A flame ignites from within
Killing the darkness
And lighting the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

As the end of the tunnel nears
The flame dies out
Giving way to the outer brightness
Showing a new way to go
In the direction of my soul search

Well, this one's a highway
Seashore lining one side
Mountain ranges lining the other
An exciting way to go
In the direction of my soul search

Now the big question arises
Mountains, or the seas?
Which path do I tread
Which way do I go
In the direction of my soul search

I turn to the ranges
Amazed by their grandeur
The snow-covered tops beckon me
I climb up the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

But soon I begin to wonder
Is it worth the effort?
And what if I make a blunder?
I turn back from the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

The tide then lowers
The current pulls me deeper
It terrifies me so much
I turn back to the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

I now find the highway better
But it doesn't last for long
The road splits into many lanes
It's a confusing way to go
In the direction of my soul search

One road leads to the desert
Another into the forest
And yet another leads to the town
Can't decide on which way to go
In the direction of my soul search

There's not a soul in sight
No one to guide me through
I feel lost & lonely
Stranded on the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

A sudden jolt wakes me up
Zaps me out of the trance
The daylight has dimmed into dusk
Another day wasted on the way to go
In the direction of my soul search

I realize I'm going nowhere
Dreams take me no further
I need to take a step in this real world
The only correct way to go
In the direction of my soul search
