Swirling lights before the eyes
Mists and fog blur out reality
Pieces of a puzzle come together
All pointed and jagged edges
The wrong pieces, not fitting
Just glimpses of what's to be
No understanding accompanies
A mystery within the mind
It whispers secrets of nonsense
It plays peek-a-boo and then...
It is gone, like so much smoke
Leaving one in wonder and confusion
The Visions they come and go
Telling us we are..
Better off without them.

Love,
Bonnie

Bonnie,  can't say I don't agree with you.
Sometimes we would be better off if we just
were clueless...Huh?

Well, the saying "ignorance is bliss" can often be true. ;o)

Love,

And there really are some things about life, that I would rather not know...
I think we all have things we really don't want to know about or wish we had never learned.

Great poem, Bonnie.

A very interesting write and I always enjoy the language of the thinking poet....Sometimes one is better off this way!
