How To Get Lost

The mathematical uncertainty of perfect pitch 
Causes the central part of my mind to itch 
I strive to explain in words I can't find 
And once more feel I'm left behind 
In that empty space of nebulous width 
that causes my thoughts to smoke and drift 
Through passing time of dwarves and elves 
People once used to find themselves 
In ringing tones of distant bells

Donald - Your poem flowed and rhymed so well and it was so well written that it seemed like one line - Beautiful poem
