A Lucid Moment

Is it difficult to request a simple lucid moment? All the treachery and deceit shocking my existence Filled with bewilderment and disgust, I can only lament The innocence and simplicity of a smothered soul Finally, I understand there are things beyond my control As optimism drains gradually from my heart and mind, I rant, cry, and resent the world of pretense and personal gain Is it not humanely possible to act as humans anymore? I finally understand: it is beyond my control I can only accept and pray for the human touch to soar Once again…

I am coming to believe that the acknowledgment of chaos only compels one to create a "zone" of lucidity and solitude? Maybe =) Thank you for this lovely write. I have missed reading your work. Always, Farah
