All the world's a blur and my vision dims
The wind howls in haunting anger and fear
As we are cast about like dice on a whim
The present is slipping, into the future we sail
Retrospective actions are too late, they fail

And my hands clench nothing, short of their goal
Eyes mist through their dryness and are veiled
Even with sight we cannot see with eyes of coal
In different dimensions, different degrees
We all try to help ourselves see
But what we learn from memory;
This thing can never be

I am taxed by weariness from the labor
Of trying to do somehow more than asked
But it is this struggle, this very labor
That gives me life and some sort of task
To relieve the burden of this heavy mask

Ah, but the horizon lies ever just ahead
And the landscape shifts with slightest inclination
So that this icon is something else instead
Feeding from the wickedness of the population

3D sight surrounds the light
Of hope to survive, maybe, just might
We ascend the impossible height,
Only to descend, into endless night

this is written with so much vision...and depth...like i keep saying you are SO deep.
stalking on...jm

 ...every moment of every day...
your still with me in every way.
every poem and song...
every rhyme and verse...
your still here...like a beautiful curse.
