Searching for Meaning

I rummaged through 

the luggage 

and hoped to find 

a key

to a door 

to a long road 

where at the far end

is a lighted lamp

the size of my thumb

I rummage through 

my baggage

hoping to find

something 

to look forward to

I will think I have the key

I will think I am free

So I practise

any skill

dance it is I choose

so that on that road

toward that light

I will do a grand jete

happy finally

in the process 

of a meaningful life
