With each rise and fall of every breath
the exhalations bring me closer
pushed to my limits of control
extraordinarily vacant in your line of perception
mixed colors
muffled sounds
merry-go-round balance of stability
distanced by tension
unconquerable by the strongest will
jerked by tension
rocked to sleep
me, my only solace
dismembered
fingers spread
needing reassurance
deserving of much more
unwittingly by unkind time
float by and only carried by pride
dizzy point of light
illumination at a distance
runaway absolution
providing dishonest answers
search to recognize my existence
you will discover me in the wilder fog
sight my connection
this is the only beginning...
