I stood and fought
Invisible ghosts
I followed, chased
Invisible steps.
That led to what ?
Nothing but the sound of my breath
Panting in the darkened haze.
Did my sigh summon the fog,
Did my sight summon the wraith
Did my will summon the emptiness ?
Was it all me ?
Did I make masks for others
To frighten myself
Instead of washing their feet
And bless them with a kiss
Did I not love enough ?
Or love wrong ?
Did I mistake a cough for a laugh ?
A flattery for a sneer ?
An invitation for rejection ?
Somebody guide me,
I can't see
