Darkness seems to abound
and hands stretch forward,
fumbling, searching
for the road leading to
the end of the world.
What once was a path
clear and worn from decades of travelers,
now washed away
as if by summer rains.
Battles take place on it now
between desire and obligation,
expectations and what’s observed,
reality and perception,
between right eye and left
as all goes blurry
And sight fails you.
Focus is gone
and the mind wanders
aimlessly across barren lands
meandering through thickets
with grasping fingers
seeking its destruction.
Conviction steals away
like a thief in the night,
leaving the body to mourn
remaining comatose in its despair.
Once Focus is gone,
the great machine of man
falls into disrepair
with no one
composed enough to fix it.
Muscles grow lax
and utterly fall asleep,
leaving man to rise no more.
The path he was on
becomes nothing more than brambles
without focus.
