I have been lost for one day too many
it wasn't until now that I realized.
On that day I woke up with a stranger's eyes,
and what I saw I knew was new.
I left my home after taking a while
to try and recognize the face and smile
All the features staring back were me
but in reality couldn't be true
Walking now I feel the shoes
in which this day chose me to fill.
My downcast eyes-- by my feet mesmerized--
had hardly familiarized themselves with the world.
The spectral haze crept on the horizon,
the fog's clearly opaque clouds drew around me too.
I now knew each moment was a lifetime lived before,
as each day was a new life that starts the same.
