Sometimes, I am afraid there are so many People In this world, So many crowds to Walk through, That eventually I might never Recover the body (and mind) that are My own.
Some days, Even when I am alone in the Pale light of my very own Thoughts, I seem to lose myself in the Vastness – I seem to lose myself in the Narrowness.
Do you ever wonder if it is Possible that a person could get So lost inside their own self that No matter how hard the trying Hands grasp through the Darkness of the soul, It could never truly be found again?
It’s funny – The places a person will discover himself, Not in the back of the mind, Usually, But in the back of the hand, In the back of the throat, ending At the tongue and the Slightly-open lips.
Occasionally, I climb up an ancient wooden staircase that Ascends into an attic, And I gather the thoughts and pieces of Myself I have hidden there.
And, just for a challenge, I try and assemble the pieces together, Like a necklace- The kind of necklace that looks Interesting enough, maybe even beautiful, but is never quite wearable.
