The mind wanders…

~ 5 weeks to my ‘Tees’ (30th) ~

(31 Aug — 6 Sept 2020)

The mind wanders
To where there are no answers
Only trembling questions
And ‘what if’s
It seems like the tunnel
Is getting deeper
An abyss, never ending
The loud sound of silence roaring past
As everything else around stands still
While you float in the space of endless possibilities
The heart shattering into pieces
To realise that what was, isn’t
And what one thought was perfect
Is in fact only a mirage
And the dreariness is even more now
The thirst unquenchable
All alone on a journey
That seems to have no end
Even the horizon is a flat lie
And the ground under your feet keeps going
And Santa doesn’t exist
And other such untruths that pacified
Your restless mind
Now dim in the sheen of the setting sun
You don’t know if the alternate universe
You saw in your dreams (?)
Even exists or is only a figment of your imagination
But what choice do you have
Will the world you know today
Change with the blink of an eye
Or maybe it will be different
When you finally wake up?
