The Explorer Poem by James Darwin Smith II

Soul aloft
High towards the sky
Traveling to space
Freezing time
Everything seems better
Upon these dreamy insights
Traveling at the light speed
Of pure sublime


Stars all around
Feeling ever so free
No worries, no stress
Not even an ounce of anxiety
Depression all but obsolete
Greater times galore
Upon this grace
So openly explored


Naturalistic epitome
Journey ever so humbling
Ecstasy in its purist form
Such a natural high adorned
Pleasure beyond anything ever imagined
And even more
Greater feelings times a zillion galore
Beautiful essence explored
Devoid pain
Anointed in a sense of joy
The flowery fragrance strong
Smelling it even more as I keep going


Oh, Rapture of grace
Star haven bursting glory
Everything far out of the ordinary
Traveling onward anew
Beaming warmth's rejoice
Jovial tears of gratitude
So much to gain
Nothing to lose
In dreamy wave fantasy
This existence has finally found refuge


This dream is of peace
No judgement at all
Just me and space
Being loved for this soul
Lit with stars that shine's love's growth
Feeling important above space and time sublime
Transcending beyond human form
This aura has now been turned to gold
Smelted into specs of heaven
Sparkling limitless in harmony
Feeling so greatly adored

Knowing of reality
The brutal truth of all rationality
Being awoken to feel this world
As all this pain will be put back into place
And the quest for healing starts again


In fact it is always the descent that hurts the most
The brutal dissention from the stars
Limited in low regards
With barely anywhere to go
But the confines of my own personal woe
Waiting for the rest I so humbly adore

When I fade into the night
Reality comes dreaming in
Flying so high
To wherever dimension I want to go
So much freedom within
Upon each dream that continues to grow


In the skin
I know I serve some kind of purpose
Searching for what it may be
The trivial pursuit of my humbled epiphany
Right there in front of me
Ready to be solved



Yet, I know to really enjoy the full longevity of this dream
I have to be hit with lethal doses of reality
So when my time comes
My next form will be ready
In the metamorphosis to my soul's completion


Star teachers I thank you
For mapping out this soul's abode
Celestial salvation
My dream home
My whole spiritual abode


It is so hard
But I keep learning
Accepting this flesh
Living on, adapting
Feeling complete self as a whole
Always willing to grow


Soul of mine
Everything will be fine
And when the time comes
You will fly further
Than you have ever flown before
This I promise in the revolution of self-exploration
My word is each heart beating in gratitude
For each level of our own growth
Shall be serenated by the desire of never letting go
As we fly higher than we could ever thought we could soar


Soul, Time shall heal all
Just you wait
True love goes beyond even dreams
This realisation know known
Unprecedented by evolution of our desired destination
Beyond and into the greater unknown, vastly unexplored


Stars above
I await the moment, the time when I can just let go
In the night's resting slumber
Where I become nothing but soul
Being carefree and going with the flow
This is worth living
In a life I yearn for more



But till then
In the days reckoning
I will keep fighting in my human form
That is till…
Fate tells me it's safe to let go




Battling on
Growing strong
So when the time comes
I will be ready to pass on



Flesh, you will never get the best of me
I grow stronger within my soul
I am in control, I am in control

Yes, we keep battling
But I will never let go
I need the flesh
So when the time comes
I can transform completely
In the deepest reaches of this soul


Everything shall always be under my control


Even now I must realize
The stars will never leave me alone
They are my true abode
Preparing this cocoon flesh
Into the furthest depths of the future
When I finally become all soul


Upon this soul I shall always strive to be in control
Till it's my time, I will cease to ever let go


I may feel dead at times
But this soul it always shines
Preparing this flesh for the future
Of a greater meaning's accord
When all answers are all revealed
In the greatest form,
The source of every last soul


In this
I shall always come to the realization
That I should never let go
Creating foundations natural prophesies
Then keep going on like I have never gone before







In the next step time will cease to exist
I will see everyone I love
Even those passing after
We are in a dimensional balance
In a realm where everyone lives together
No matter when they were ever born


Now I have come to conclusion
I realize that I was never truly alone
There is always somewhere to go
There is always somewhere to grow
Time is but paltry in the big picture
We all shall come to know
Our purpose and where we will go


In the end
There is no end
And we all live forever within our souls


How do I know?
I have no idea
Just going with the flow


All in all
There is so much beauty in the unknown
This I do however know


What is next?
Where do we go?
It's alright to believe in what you do
As long as are dedicated to your own soul
And never lose control


We are unified
Yet we are our own
Innovating ourselves
To many journeys
Many places unexplored


Now, where do we go from here?
Just fallow your soul
Our souls know



I am an apprentice of the universe
Trying to comprehend everything and all
Trying to find my rightful place in lore
I am all, yet I am my own
My home away from home


I am the explorer
And I will explore forever more…
Time will never tell me to let go
My soul will always grow



There is truly a beyond
Beyond our own compressive lore
We were born to be nomadic and illusive
Never intrusive


I am the explorer
And I will keep going
Till I can never go anywhere
But hey then I have my soul


What is next?
I love that I have no idea
The gift we were given
The gift of all
The essence of uncertainty
Beyond all, the great unknown


What is real?
Is this for real?
All I know is
I am the explorer
Beyond the after
And the beginning of it all


Soul aloft
It is time for us to go
It is time for us to grow

Deft time as we know
We are in control
And ready to explore

We are the explorers
Let's get ready to go!

Let's go!
