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.
