Attracted To Pretty Cloth

The poor girl is lost Thinking she is found Grasping other peoples answers Straight lines going round and round Light at end of tunnels Leads her back to black She can't keep moving forward Without truly looking back With butterfly wings She flys like a moth Attracted to pretty fabric Instead of gold she looks for cloth The wind seems to take her From here to over there Instead of finding her focus She is the queen of everywhere A can can dancer With her two left feet Exuberantly stepping Yet completly off the beat No one can help her Her ears fully blocked Sometimes people have their patterns Within those lines they are locked

A very deep poem from you. The first two lines set the tone and you match it word for word. The saddest part of being lost is not knowing it.

Yes if you think you have found the destination you end up staying in the wrong spot for way to long.

THis poem makes me curious to know the girl's circumstances. The title is so befitting for this poem's message , the one thing the girl is able to focus on and love.

She is ignoring the patterns of the past and therefore continues the same patterns over and over without making any progress. Through it all she imagines her own enlightenment

Its sad when one keep looking back or walking in wrong directions..I pity everyone in such situation.Im sure I have been in the wrong place at the wrong time at times when i misleaded myself,but We do learn from our mistakes along the way.Blocked ears and stubborness won t help.A very clever post Richard..Always with words to chew upon.

I think when people grab onto someone else's dream they are unable to grasp their own dreams.
