Life Seen Through a Keyhole
Life seen through a keyhole
Subconscious out of my soul
An image blurred and indistinct
Some half remembered precinct
Idealized but not indefinite
life seen through a keyhole
Escaping this black hole, the lid shut tightly
Impossible
Perhaps that's its benefit
reflections seeking to console
Prompted by some unknown inner instinct
Invisible to my soul
Distorted and hazy cannot reveal the whole
life seen through a keyhole
Escaping this black hole, the lid shut tightly
Impossible
Vague memories almost extinct
dreams no longer in my control
I seek to understand their role
the meaning is rarely succinct
Some distant star is linked
life seen through a keyhole
Escaping this black hole, the lid shut tightly
Impossible
A stately home where ghosts may flit
Final exit of indeterminate state
life seen through a keyhole
Escaping this black hole, the lid shut tightly
Impossible
