Frequently my eyes go unfocused,
Blocking me from the world I know.
I find myself wandering through the labyrinth of my thoughts
Fighting the dilemmas and demons that
Live in the shadows of my mind.

Sometimes I weave through flowered fields,
Wishing to stay there forever
Visiting those I mourn and miss,
Smiling in the sunlight of my perception.

But I must continue through the maze,
Withstanding the darkness and savoring the light
For only in the center,
Past the dead-ends and passageways
Will I find myself and
Allow my eyes to see clearly again.
