Awakening

My indigent eyes have peered too far For so delicate the sensibility to be obtuse My point of view is an outstretched plea Forgetting where I am standing Some awakening is needed to consecrate My perspective to be found Allowing my insight to bridge the compass For my vision to navigate the stars fate On the road taken too much in turning My delirium seems the gift that enslaves Not finding my misplaced self To be lost is too egregious to mediate For I must learn who I am to be here September 4, 2019 Eight Word Challenge 9 Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Hamilton

Sometimes we're unable to navigate the stars because of the darkness that surrounds us. Well written for John's contest, Lonna.
