I saw a fog rolling in a Meadow, Hidden within is my Shadow. I heard a heart beat echo, Being moved by warm winds as they blow. I begin to wonder if it is mine. Yet, I do not want to cross that line. My fear of the truth holds me back. Is it courage that I lack? Or could it be something else? I check my pulse, To see if I am still alive. ...counting to five... Yes, I am still breathing Ah, I just want to leave And move away from this horrid place. Now, it is uncertainty that which my emotions are laced. Why do I feel so displaced? Is that me? Am I there? Am I really anywhere? Is this all just a grand illusion? I am swamped in confusion! I do not know which way to turn Yet I yearn To move move forward into that Meadow Confront the nameless Shadow Which is me. "All that we see or seem, Is but a dream within a dream" Edgar Allan Poe |

What an excellent piece! What a brilliant expression of alienation from the self. I am really impressed. Does anyone really know or want to know themselves? But I do hope it's not about you!?? "I no longer know who I am, nor what I am doing." Mozart Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

Lotharingia... < !signature-->Thank you! No, Its not necessarily about me directly but just how one can question existence and their purpose here... DeePak... No, I don't believe so, but I do believe there are a few who gets close. Perhaps too close? Glad that you two enjoyed my poem  Cyndey "All that we see or seem, Is but a dream within a dream" Edgar Allan Poe [This message has been edited by Cyndey (edited 07-14-2000).] |

I liked it too Cyndey. "Am I anywhere, or is it just a grand illusion" I love that, a feeling I have often had. Catalinamoon "If a man moves you to feel like a woman, the least you can do is let him." Merrit Malloy |

Am I really anywhere? Is this all just a grand illusion? sometimes because of the way modern society works today, i often ask these questions myself.. anyway, great poem, cyndey. |

cyndey, those self doubts about self and our place in the grand scheme of things will forever haunt some of us. You captured it well here. Hardrock |
