I have no wooded isle all my own. No place where thoughts can wander, where spirits roam. My heart, empty for the filling, longs for space to expand and hold all of my minds secrets and wants in place for a soulful examination. I hold no one place for quiet revelry but look inside my own devices, my own mechanical store room for enlightenment. When gazes wander over my own I see nothing. I know nothing; I feel nothing in this empty place but my own self and the wanderings of my misguided thoughts. Were that I could remember them as I wander, wondering through the forests of my thoughts.

    Really interesting beginning and very lyrical. But it wound up a bit repetitive by the end and I kept hoping it would go somewhere. You have a nice way with words though.

    I agree that this did have a lyrical sound to it, but I thought the whole thing turned out nicely. Great job :) I’d love to see some more of your work

    I like the repetitive aspect, because it emphasizes the theme of the writing—wandering. Wandering can often be/seem aimless and repetitive. So can thoughts. So, their intersection here made sense to me.
