A Puzzlement
Can you
Could you
Solve this conundrum
Decipher this dilemma
Troubling me?
How do you find
What seems lost forever
How do you seek
What is no longer found?
What do you call that which
Has forgotten its name
How do you point fingers
When we are all to blame?
I look up at the sky
Glimpsing nothing but clouds
Though my eyes search for a silver lining
How can it feel so bitterly cold
Though I see that the sun is shining
An elusive enigma
A problem perplexing
A quandary quite sigma
And truly quite vexing
A Gordian knot with no simple solution
No way to escape this mental pollution
Perhaps in the face of a futile endeavor
I will remain in this labyrinth
Trapped here forever
Or perhaps this is only a passing phase
I will recover, I will amaze
Life is too rich to be squandered away
I will rise to fight another day.
