A Thought That Baffles a Soul

What if I die, would I be a bother? If I drawn, would love come to me from another? Thin as air, I float among “others” All of my past, my sadness, my hopes, my dreams, my lovers… Vanish! Lost! To the edge of unknown… Solitude, a heartbeat away… For only me, my thoughts, there we lay A sight, a movement…invisible to the “others” Who are the “others”? Fathoms of my past imagination? Specimens of my own creation? Now I sit here, and write.. Awaiting salvation A reincarnation of myself, if you will!! For my time here is done My journey is complete… Away! Away! I go Where?, I am yet to know? A lifetime I waste on useless beliefs That peace lies within the heart of many Or, those fiendish deeds do not in fact transpire by any No sweet thought to hold on too Life: every inspiration you made Every motivation you crafted, And every moral you imparted was all a sham, and I was its sad sad target You taught me once not to measure life by the yard Or to whimper when the days gone hard But now I must question! I question at this time if the sky is really blue Or if cars really run on fuel… A Baffled soul is what I am So away! Away! I go Where? I am yet to know… ~M.M.M
