4a.m. Mind Wheel

Stability Unstable,

    Like the ocean tides,

            Connected only through the shift in seasons.

I'm tangled in the intricacies of life.

Alone, I watch the way things move;

How a smile between strangers is pure

How quirkiness is a form of building walls

      Blissfully waiting to burst at the first sign of reality

Underlying emotions shifting every second,

      Deeper into the unknown

I walk on broken steps without perception

My head held captive in the clouds

Without care of destination,

      Yet striving to arrive

Lost between here and there

Well composed

       Slowly witty

             Brightly burnt out

       Ambitiously un-motivated

Spirit trapped in body

      Body trapped by mind

An oxymoron of unconscious awareness
