my mind is clouded
by thoughts of you today
taking over perception
taking me astray
off-track – away from my centered self
floating in past and history
forgetting all else
there’s no concentration
because I need to know
where i lost control
what has happened
in the stream
where did I take the wrong turn
and how do I
get back to me?
how do I feel so alienated
from who I am
and who I used to be
how do I not know fact from fiction
how did you get
the best of me?
where has my energy
dissipated
where did it come
never to return
how did I get stuck here
on this plane of loss and burn
how did I get so deep
how did I go this far
how do I get back on track
and re-gain sight
of it All?
standing on a mountain top
looking at the world
from far away
losing every sense
of time and space
God
let me come back
to reality
and let me see
what is right in front of me
let me feel
what is good and true
and make me forget
