As consciousness, submerged, is buried deep, obsessive thoughts repeat again, again. Awareness, then hidden, is sound asleep as ruminations coil around my brain - thus, rendering me functionally blind, as I go certifiably insane. Just as I am imprisoned by my mind, enveloping thoughts that have me consumed, (rendering my perceptions so confined) fall away like Autumn leaves by and by waking the ear, the nose, the skin, the eye.
